“Don Juan as Moralist,” a talk by David Bentley Hart

Last week’s posts (here and here) on the profane, gangstas, and the New Evangelization evoked a little bit of outrage in my inbox. I suspect much of that was the product of misunderstanding and the presumption that my claims were not very serious. If you want to see a substantive, albeit characteristically indulgent, treatment of the matter, watch this talk by DBH, below. It shows, among many other things, the incredibly sterile and unimaginative state of late modernity, clamoring for a profane, gansta-like message. The message of Christ.

I cameo at the end, asking two questions. DBH’s answers are excellent.
