What Came Before the Big Bang? Nothing, Time, and Whether the Logos and Aum Have Scientific Standing

All six of the questions people ask about the beginning of the universe, sorted by what kind of claim each one is. The big bang is not an explosion into emptiness but the limit of a theory, and the age of thirteen point eight billion years is a measurement with a live discrepancy inside it. The word nothing turns out to do five different jobs, and every account of creation either begins with something already or dissolves the question. Whether time began is an artefact of the best model, and the deeper puzzle is why it has an arrow. And the Logos and Aum are not scientific claims at all: unfalsifiable is neither false nor validated, though the intelligibility of mathematics and the ringing of the early plasma are two real facts the traditions anticipated in their own languages.

What Does Grace Mean? The Word, Its Biblical Weight, and What It Means to Notice It Everywhere

The word grace turns up everywhere once you start noticing it — on a shopfront, in a song, in an obituary — and this examination does two things at once. It gives the word its biography across three languages: the Hebrew chen, favour found in the eyes of someone with power; the Greek charis, charm and gift and gratitude; and the Latin gratia, where thanks and favour became one word long before any doctrine of salvation was built on it. And it weighs the noticing honestly, through the frequency illusion and the precise limit of what that explanation can carry, without resolving the question into a sermon. Along the way: why the respectable character is always the one offended by the generosity in the parables, the argument between Pelagius and Augustine, and Bonhoeffer on cheap and costly grace.

The Missing Years of Jesus, Part Two: The Three-Tier Verdict — What the Evidence Supports, What Is Unresolved, and What the Medical and Textual Record Contradicts

The verdict on the eighteen undocumented years, in three tiers: what the texts and the outside record support, what stays genuinely unresolved, and what the manuscripts and the medical literature contradict — including the survival of the crucifixion that every eastern journey depends on. Part two of two closes with the six tests a new source would have to pass, told through a fragment a Harvard historian announced in 2012 and the PDF a forger copied it from.

The Missing Years of Jesus, Part One: The Infancy Gospels, the Ethiopian Canon, the Islamic Traditions, and the Jesus-in-India Books

The eighteen years the gospels pass over are covered by a literature of clay birds, teachers and childhood miracles that is mostly one story copied and recopied — and the two books that send Jesus to India are not part of it at all. Part one of two: the sources inventoried, not yet the verdict.
