Kevin Mattson on Jimmy Carter’s “Malaise Speech.”

Ross Douthat on Easter and Good Friday.

African Pentecostal missionaries in America.

Elements of Style is 50 years old.

Do you review academic monographs? If so, you should read this.

Walter Isaacson reviews Richard Beeman’s Plain, Honest, Men.

The other preacher in Lynchburg.

The New Republic on baseball.

Polite interest does not always translate into a book contract. Rachel Toor explains.

Controversy at Vanderbilt over Doris Kearns Goodwin as a commencement speaker. (HT).
