Today was a research day. No writing, which always feels like a step back. Read Pieper’s essay on Hope and typed up all the quotes I could possibly use. Thanks to

’s new piece in CT (which you should read), I need to revise parts of my book. So that’s going to take some work. I’m also going to start reading Ellul’s Hope in a Time of Abandonment to see if that helps with this chapter, so “writing” may get a whole lot slower.
