Despite the unfortunate absence of any Jesuit teams from the Elite Eight with Xavier’s loss to Baylor, March has still been mad here at TJP, with Perry Petrich doing some video commentary for the Ignatian News Network. But of course, even in March there’s more than basketball filling the pages at TJP:
- Breaking new ground for us, we ran a series of excerpts from Kevin O’Brien’s new book, The Ignatian Adventure
- Addressing the other non-basketball cultural juggernaut, Paddy Gilger on Hunger Games as dystopia
- A bunch of “big questions”:
- Matt Spotts on when scripture is disturbing
- On the very nature of “why questions,” Matt Dunch with an astronomical contribution
- And Brendan Busse on how he came to answer the question of who he was meant to be
- Rounding out the week, some All Things Linked contributions:
- Perry again, this time with family
- A literary moment with Marilynne Robinson, via Tim O’Brien (and even with a link to the Daily Show!)
- And Matt Dunch again, on what can and can’t be priced
The new week’s already under way, with plenty more from TJP in March — even if we can’t ride the NCAA Tournament’s coattails anymore.
