Happy New Year

Hello again. I have been away from the blog for several months. It was all for health reasons, first a heart catheterization, then a complete knee replacement surgery. As you can see, the name of the blog has changed but the writer stays the same. On this bog, I will be sharing so of my musings.

As we begin a new year, I am going to do a series of blog posts on culture. Because I am a Christian, I will begin with the biblical view of culture. Then I will review the only culture that survived for nineteen centuries without a homeland, the Hebrew culture. Next, I will look at culture from the standpoint of cultural anthropology which is the science that studies human institutions, beliefs, and social constructs. Following that, I will present a recap of the culture we inherited in the West from the previous few centuries. Finally, I will deal with postmodernism and the twenty-first-century culture of the West. Some of these topics will take more than one post so as not to make them too long. The purpose of these posts, as well as all of my posts, is to edify the reader.
