Life’s Work: An Interview with J. Craig Venter

Life’s Work: An Interview with J. Craig Venter

J. Craig Venter made waves in 1998 when he and his for-profit company, Celera, challenged the public Human Genome Project to a DNA-sequencing race. (It ended in a tie two years later.) Fired from Celera in 2002, the biologist now runs a nonprofit institute and two biotech firms, Human Longevity and Synthetic Genomics.You’re known for setting audacious goals and then achieving them more quickly than most would. Why is that approach so effective for you?The goals are only considered to be audacious by other people. I consider them to be achievable. With the Human Genome Project,...

The Erotic Dreams of Emanuel Swedenborg

The Erotic Dreams of Emanuel Swedenborg

publicdomainreview.org

Among the many works of the eighteenth-century Swedish scientist, philosopher, religious teacher and visionary Emanuel Swedenborg (1688-1772) his private Drömbok (variously translated into English as Journal of Dreams or Dream Diary) has attracted and continues to attract special attention. Unlike the works he published in his lifetime, or intended to publish, which were all written in Latin, the Journal of Dreams was, in the words of a present-day Swedish Swedenborg scholar, written in ‘rather crude but expressive Swedish’ (Jonsson, 16). It has been described as a ‘difficult and obscure no...

To feel with and for Friedrich Schleiermacher: On religious experience

To feel with and for Friedrich Schleiermacher: On religious experience

There are very good reasons why the German philosopher, theologian and biblical scholar Friedrich Daniel Ernst Schleiermacher (1768-1834) is one of the scholars who is included in the well-known series Makers of the modern theological mind.1 Of this series, the editor Bob Patterson writes on the back cover:Who are the thinkers that have shaped Christian theology in our time? This series tries to answer that question by providing a reliable guide to the ideas of the men who have significantly charted the theological seas of our century.Leaving the unque...

William Warburton and the Alliance of Church and State

William Warburton and the Alliance of Church and State

In January 1736 an anonymous pamphlet appeared under the title, The Alliance between Church and State, or the Necessity of an Established Religion, and a Test Law demonstrated. Its author was William Warburton, a well-to-do but still comparatively obscure country clergyman. Although this was only his second publication in the field of divinity, he was already revealing the taste for controversy which was to characterise his literary career. The Alliance appeared at the height of the campaign by the Protestant dissenters to repeal the Test Act of 1673, and only weeks before the d...

Brahms: where to start with his music

This series began last week with Beethoven. Among the composers who took up the daunting challenge of the symphonic form, none was more aware of the legacy than Johannes Brahms (1833-97). The responsibility weighed heavily upon him, and it took him many years to emerge entirely from Beethoven’s s...

Constructing and Clarifying the Doctrine of Predestination

In 1551 Jerome Bolsec questioned John Calvin's teaching on predestination. Theodore Beza wrote to Heinrich Bullinger in support of Calvin, and to Calvin himself. The controversy prompted Beza to explore and refine Calvin's doctrine of predestination. Four of Beza's letters written during and in t...
