Actually I am a Christian, so that I do not expect “history” to be anything but a “long defeat”—though it contains… some samples or glimpses of final victory. – J.R.R. Tolkien

This Substack is a place for me to reflect on topics that interest me; primarily political theory, political theology, meta-history, and cultural reflections. I write and podcast elsewhere and you can find more of what I am up to here.
