I discussed a review of Willful Blindness, a book I have since forgotten existed. However lots of the ideas generalised well and still apply

I reviewed Scot McKnight's The King Jesus Gospel, which I do still remember. Then I wrote some more.

Kyle was assigned Reviving Ophelia as a high school sophomore.

An extended post on vaccines, with internal links to other posts that also had many comments. It's an interesting discussion of what this group thought over a decade ago, before all the coronavirus vaccine controversies showed up. It gives some explanation of why authorities were so dismissive of anti-vax sentiment. It didn't have a good history.
