I'M STILL SICK but getting better. I've been taking the chance to get caught up on some lectures I'd meant to listen to but didn't get around to. This one is from a series by Luke Timothy Johnson about aspects of embodied existence and its religious ramifications and consequences. I especially like what he said about the ill-advised "theology of the body" book by JPII which he said were a series of tedious sermons given by someone who knew nothing about the topic, choosing a small range of Scriptures to come to a ridiculous conclusion.
The reason I'm posting this one is that it is relevant to music making and, specifically, singing in a choir, which Johnson did for hours a day for ten years of his life as a Benedictine singing chant.
