The colonial period of U.S. history contains a variety of interesting lessons. One of these pertains to the concept of a "virtuoso." The virtuoso was primarily characterized by curiosity. Rather than being overly specialized, the virtuoso explored a wide range of interests. The study of nature, art, literature, and theology all would have been pursuits common to this stereotype. This blog aspires to take this early category and use it as a point of departure for exploration and reflection.

Biblical Literalism Quote
"A biblical literalism, gaining strength since the 1870s, has fueled both the intense concern for human origins and the end times." ~The Scandal of The Evangelical Mind, 194.
