For your spiritual benefit and/or intellectual curiosity:

Is the Resurrection unbelievable? (You won't be surprised to learn that the answer is going to be "no", but of course what makes the claim interesting is the article given in its defense, by philosopher and chess master Tim McGrew. While we're at it, here's a piece he co-authored with his wife, fellow philosopher [but not fellow chess player] Lydia McGrew, offering a long and careful argument supporting Christian belief based on Bayesian reasoning applied to the evidence for the Resurrection of Jesus.)

Reflections on theodicy and the plague.

Reflections on sacraments, church attendance and service, and the pandemic. (There are a number of pastors - thankfully, a very small number and a minuscule percentage of the whole - who are foolishly, recklessly, and selfishly advocating that parishioners ignore the experts and the love of their neighbor and attend large services anyway. This article addresses this, but goes much further.)

More links may come, but I've blogged enough today to keep everyone busy for a while.
