…tten.) Considering the nature of Moskos’ argument, how far he wishes us to travel in adopting his point, and how carefully he dissects many of our assumptions and aspirations, I only wish he could’ve shown the same thoroughness when considering the Islamic tradition. There’s probably a lot here you’ll disagree with. But every once in a while, we should read something we want to dismiss out of hand. 4. Boomerang: Travels in the New Third World by…

By Lauren Barbato

…treatments; often, these interventions are denied, with patients forced to travel to a non-Catholic hospital. The USCCB positions the ERDs as a beacon of Catholic identity in an increasingly bio-medicalized healthcare system.

…a prophecy. She said that I would speak to millions of people, and I would travel the world and preach to millions of people. And I didn’t know what she was talking about. But this was March 27, 1975, 32 years ago now, almost 33 years ago. So my work has been my ministry. In fact, I asked my pastor, years ago, “Do you think I should become a minister or a preacher?

…t appears over 100 times, as opposed to zero in the original Hebrew. Words travel, especially when multiple languages rub shoulders, and just as saying “Rabbi” today wouldn’t classify you as a Hebrew speaker unless the rest of your conversation was Hebrew too, “rabbouni” is no more decisive back then; we need to look at overall patterns, not isolated examples.
