I’ve been working on a set of essays for some time. Or I’ve been thinking about them. Every once in a while. And sometimes something gets written.
Right now, as I’m moving forward slowly and with a great many halts and fits and false starts, I’m trying to figure out what direction to take them. I have two main options, with the ever present “in-between” to consider as well. I’m essentially just not sure how these should be written.
This paper was written for Religion 580: Theories of Religion at Missouri State University under Dr. Mark Given. Structuralist and poststructuralist religious theorizing are two of the most recently developed theories, but as I explore here, I find both insufficient when confronted with the Medieval Inquisition.
I’m not exactly maintaining radio silence this week, and I’ll probably be on Twitter very regularly for the next several days when I am in Blackboard 9.0 training (three days of in-depth training in preparation for our upgrade and migration), but I haven’t gotten any writing done. When I was working over the weekend, I was researching the Cathar heresy and the Medieval Inquisition. I have a paper due on this topic this coming Saturday and lots of research yet to complete.
So I’m going through a stack of books, making copious notes in Scrivener and compiling all of my materials before I actually begin writing. Despite the fact that this paper is worth relatively little of my grade and I’m not generally a very diligent student, I’m actually giving this one some effort. It will probably be the last research paper of my college career, so that’s worth something I guess.
Herbert the Trillionaire is a story about a man with an inconceivable amount of money. I am publishing it in short snippets as I go along, which is probably a horrible idea.
I’m shifting the Online Bible Study from an in-depth verse-by-verse look at a single book in the Bible to a more topical approach. I need to learn what the Bible has to say about spiritual warfare, so I’m going to start taking a look at Isaiah.
