Forty years ago, I attended a conference of literature professors at Christian liberal-arts colleges in which the keynote speaker was an esteemed Christian journalist, tasked with giving us advice, I guess. Whatever his task was, he...
A part of me still hasn't recovered from learning that some people believe there is no such thing as an untranslatable word. I've written about why I disagree before, but that explanation didn't satisfy me completely. There was a...
