The Fourth Heaven

"The Fourth Heaven" is a reference to the Divine Comedy, by Dante Alighieri. In "Paradiso" (Cantos X-XIV), the Fourth Heaven is the sphere of the Theologians and Fathers of the Church. I would not presume to place myself on the same level as those greats, but I am interested in philosophy and theology; so the reference fits. I started this blog back in 2005 and it has basically served as a repository for my thoughts and musings on a wide variety of topics.

About Me

My Photo
Name:
Location: Riverside, California, United States

I am currently a graduate student in philosophy, doing research on theories of moral motivation and moral reasons. I'm also interested in topics in the philosophy of science--especially theories of explanation--and would like to become better acquainted with the writings of Kierkegaard, Husserl, and Heidegger. I am currently a member of the Free Methodist Church, have a broadly Evangelical Christian background, and am learning to better appreciate that tradition and heritage. I have a growing interest in historical and systematic theology (especially the doctrine of the Trinity and soteriology) and church history. I'm always thrilled when I get the chance to teach or preach. I like drawing, painting, and calligraphy. I really enjoy Victorian novels and I think "Middlemarch" is my favorite. I'm working on relearning how to be a really thoughtful and perceptive reader. I enjoy hiking and weight training, the "Marx Brothers", and "Pinky and the Brain".

Oxford 15: The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe

Being able to see films before everybody else is only fun if you're unscrupulous about giving away key plot points and spoiling the endings for your friends. Fortunately for you, I am not thusly unscrupulous. But I did see Narnia at 3:00 PM Greenwich Mean Time, which is 7:00 AM Pacific Standard Time--on Thursday, 08 December 2005, no less.

Of course, I am traditionally very critical of cinematizations (that is, I tend to analyze them very critically). It gets on my dad's nerves.

*Sigh. So I will say nothing. Nothing. Nothing.

You'll just have to see the film for yourself and formulate your own opinions.

...which is probably what you wanted to begin with.

...your welcome.
