It is the season of giving, and in that spirit I would like to give a Christmas present to the Christians within our ranks as a gesture of good will. Due to the Brandon economy, I do not have any partridges or pear trees, but I do have two arguments that can be used in defense of our politics by Christian Nationalists: Descartes’ cogito ergo sum and the differentiation between the private and public spheres.

I’ve recently taken interest in the Bible — probably too much interest. I suppose I’m now “clinging” to the Good Book along with my .410 squirrel gun.

Note de l’Auteur :

A cause des réponses positives – online tout comme offline – à ma première série de notes, j’ai décidé de continuer les séries jusqu’à ce que j’aie terminé Moïse l’Egyptien. Ensuite nous discuterons les livres ultérieurs d’Assmann : The Price of Monotheism, Of God and Gods: Egypt, Israel, and the Rise of Monotheism, Religio Duplex: How the Enlightenment Reinvented Egyptian Religion, et le livre à paraître From Akhenaten to Moses: Ancient Egypt and Religious Change. J’ai décidé de nommer ce projet le Assmann Seminar, bien que dans le futur j’étendrais peut-être cette étude pour traiter d’autres auteurs liés à ce sujet.
