Over the past month we\u2019re been looking at the life and work of Owen Barfield, the First and Last Inkling.<ul><li>We\u2019ve spoken to his grandson, Owen A. Barfield<\/li><li>We\u2019ve looked at his literature and poetry with Jake Grefenstette<\/li><li>We\u2019ve seen how Tolkien manifested some of Barfield\u2019s ideas surrounding language with Dr. Rob Koons<\/li><li>Last week we spoke to Mark Vernon about his book, <em>The Secret History of Christianity<\/em>, applying Barfield\u2019s ideas surrounding the evolution of consciousness to the story of salvation history.<\/li><\/ul><\/li><li>Over the course of this month, I\u2019ve had a number of Barfield fans and scholars reach out to me, and so I decided to host what I\u2019m calling a \u201cBarfield Buffet\u201d. I invited these scholars to tell us about how they came across Barfield and also to talk about some of the value they find in his works. I then stitched those different monologues together.<\/li><li>Today I\u2019m sharing Part 1 of the Buffet (or the Appetizer course, if you will\u2026).&nbsp; Next Thursday I\u2019ll be sharing Part 2 because I had so many folks want to share their Barfieldian experiences.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"block-27508392-5bf9-4ea7-9a6d-34a4e3476c70\">Quote-of-the-week<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>\u201cWhen the velocity of progress increases beyond a certain point, it becomes indistinguishable from crisis.\u201d <\/p><cite>Owen Barfield, Night Operation<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"block-27508392-5bf9-4ea7-9a6d-34a4e3476c70\">Drink-of-the-week<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Black tea with milk<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"block-27508392-5bf9-4ea7-9a6d-34a4e3476c70\">Monologues<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Dr. Charlie Starr<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We begin with a<a href=\"https:\/\/restlesspilgrim.net\/blog\/2021\/03\/25\/pwj-s4e49\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"80512\"> former guest<\/a> of the show, Dr. Charlie W. Starr, teacher of English and humanities at Alderson Broaddus University and author of \u201cThe Fawn&#8217;s Bookshelf&#8221;. Back in Episode 49, I interviewed Dr. Starr about \u201cThe Archangel Fragment\u201d, as well as the books he\u2019s written.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When we were chatting beforehand about the podcast and our plans to do Barfield Month he wrote in an email: <em>\u201cSo I&#8217;m teaching in this Inklings doctoral program with Northwind Seminary, and in addition to team teaching the Lewis course, I&#8217;m teaching the Tolkien course and was crazy enough to volunteer for the Barfield course\u201d<\/em> so, in after we had finished talking about the Archangel Fragment, I asked Dr. Starr to give our listeners a 15-20 minute summary of Barfield\u2019s life, work and ideas\u2026 a useful recap as we turn the final corner of Barfield Month\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In his monologue, Dr. Starr talks about the conversation between Pilate and Jesus, I remembered <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/restlesspilgrim.net\/blog\/2013\/10\/02\/a-little-latin-anagram\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"22050\" target=\"_blank\">something I learnt<\/a> many years ago\u2026 I think it was when I was reading Bill Bryson\u2019s book on the history English language called<em> \u201cThe Mother Tongue\u201d<\/em>. In that book we were told that anagrams were all the rage in the Roman Empire. He gave an example of a Latin phrase which sounded rather familiar to me: <em>\u201cQuid est veritas?\u201d <\/em>This is the (rather cynical) question asked of Jesus by Pontius Pilate; what is truth? And even though I don\u2019t think Bryson connected that anagram to this event, it&nbsp; turns out that there is a rather appropriate anagram for Pilate\u2019s words\u2026 The letters in <em>\u201cQuid est veritas?\u201d <\/em>can be rearranged to form <em>\u201cEst vir qui adest\u201d<\/em>, the translation of which is <em>\u201cIt is the man who is here<\/em>\u201d. What is truth? It is a person &#8211; the God-Man Jesus Christ!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Landon Loftin<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Landon Loftin, a hospital chaplain and PhD student from Missouri, who is currently preparing to write his dissertation on Barfield.
