New Links
Just a quick not the say I have updated with some new links. Bad Christian is a great blog about liberal Christianity and it place in relation to the more often encountered right-wing version. Also added is Guruphiliac which is a real find as I have long been lamenting the demise of David Lane’s essential Scumbag Gurus.
Finally, I’ve made a great discovery in Andrew Magergut’s Almanac: New Middle Ages which is an excellent resource for Byzantine Christianity, mysticism and philosophy as well as touching on Islamic Art and related topics. There is a great article Islamic Asceticism up there as of now and it is an essential read for anyone interested in the early development of Sufi practice. It has inspired me to post a few things on early Islamic asceticism and its relation to Eastern Christian practices and the teachings of Saint Isaac of Nineveh - hopefully these will appear at some point next week if I get the time.
