Tim’s post is gracious, indeed, but, as others have mentioned, the whole thing falls apart in the second sentence. I mean, I can see where the mistake is made – Jack is our patron saint and all. But neither before I joined nor since have I ever imagined this to be a “modern day Inklings,” either in stated intention or in attempt. If that particular point is not accurate, the whole rest of it doesn’t really work.
Would that we all had a better handle on “what IS the Christian revelation,” but I would submit that we try to start with Jesus and go from there as much as possible, and I don’t see how that’s too far wide of the mark.
Maybe I’m not as well-versed in Inkling thinking as I’d like to be, but weren’t they far more concerned with literature than anything else?
And besides all this, isn’t there another blog with which it would be more natural to make a connection to the Inklings? I think they just put a little “th” at the beginning of the name of the group in question…
