Apologist Dave Armstrong is offering one of his e-books,  Bible Conversations: Catholic-Protestant Dialogues on the Bible, Tradition, and Salvation at no cost, and his others are very reasonably priced.

Check out the Catholic Medical Student Blog from Patrick Beeman (who’s written several pieces for This Rock), who writes:

I am aiming at providing a forum for Catholic medical students around the country (and who’s not to say the world?) and to address medical topics of specifically Catholic concern.

Ray from MN writes to ask our prayers for Msgr. Richard Schuler,  pastor of St. Agnes in St. Paul, who has suffered a stroke.

Are you at Notre Dame or in South Bend? You can listen to the Iliad during dinner!

Over the course of the Spring of 2007, a student-led group will gather in the Oak Room of South Dining Hall to read aloud Alexander Pope’s translation of the Iliad. Each Tuesday and Friday at 6:10 pm, students and others interested may bring their dining hall trays to the Oak Room on the second floor of South Dining Hall (location occasionally liable to change to the main level of SDH) and be regaled with the glories of Homer. Each night a book of the Iliad will be read as those present feast on the fruits of the Dining Hall.

Anyone interested in being added to a mailing list to receive occasional reminders (and location changes) of the enterprise should direct an email to psmith13@nd.edu. Anyone with a desire to read a portion aloud before the congregation should likewise direct an email to Mr. Smith, and a schedule of readers will be determined. The first meeting will be this Tuesday (1/23) and will continue every Tuesday and Friday for the course of the semester.
