Simple Gifts

The Simple Gifts podcast is the gift of time and freedom. It is the simple presentation of the written word spoken without commentary. Join us in ruminating on great stories, poems, history and philosophy, theology and science. In a hectic and chaotic world, find here the “valley of love and delight,” a true simplicity, where “to bow and to bend we will not be ashamed,” where we can ponder the greatest words ever written, turning them over and over, “till by turning, turning, we come round right.”If you enjoy our content, consider donating through PayPal via https://ko-fi.com/thechristianathei...

ROBINSON CRUSOE, by Daniel Defoe, Chapter 11b 09.02.2024

As an elementary school student, I remember reading for the first time Defoe's Robinson Crusoe. I was captivated by Crusoe's solitary ingenuity on the island, his trips back and forth to the foundered ship, his reconstruction of civilized life from the fundaments. It awakened in me a lifetime love of survival narratives, and a fascination with survival strategies and skills. If today I can forage...

Plato's PROTAGORAS, Part 4 08.02.2024

Most of what we know about the greatest of the Sophists, Protagoras, comes from Plato. Whether, then, what we know about him accurately reflects the reality, we cannot be certain.
