    Thank you so much for reposting these old articles thematically. They’re just as relevant, and they deserve to be rediscovered.

    My favorite series of yours, by the way, was the articles you used to do on Meridian on ancient history, like Philo and Rabi’a. That’s how I discovered Al Ghazali and his “epistemology quest” that rings so true to Latter-day Saints. Is there a concise list of those anywhere? I’ve given up trying to find old articles on Meridian. Ever since they redesigned their website several years ago, their archives are hopelessly scrambled and old articles seem as good as lost.
