All in the family

When most families gather, they talk about the recent details of their lives, shared experiences from the past, sports, or – as a last resort – the weather.

It must be very interesting around the table when the Blosser family gathers.

In his blog Against the Grain, Christopher has a meaty post commenting on a post on his father’s blog, The Pertinacious Papist, about the infamous “'post-Christian'” theologian Hans Küng.

Christopher takes note of a connection his father makes between Küng and the famous Protestant theologian Karl Barth and then proceeds with his own substantive reflections on Karl Barth, the Resurrection, and the past century or so of contemporary theology.

And then, in the comment boxes, Christopher’s brother Jamie makes his own erudite observations (and by the way, Jamie has a post today on his own blog, Ad Limina Apostolorum, in which he critiques Mortimer Adler’s book Ten Philosophical Mistakes).

All this makes me feel like an unlettered sluggard.

Seriously, what amazing people! Their blogs are truly wonderful jewels in the blogosphere.
