In an age when we are losing our sense of the Western tradition as one unafraid of principled self-criticism, Burke reminds us that we must vindicate our tradition’s best instincts by drawing it into dialogue with other long-standing civilisations and addressing our own shadows

Picked up this treasure of @DusenburyDavid’s from Black Well’s in Oxford - a bookstore that seems to keep track of books you lose track of!? I’ve not encountered anything quite like it on Jesus in philosophy/ intellectual history. Extraordinary. And exciting. – at Oxford, England
