Rockford, IL’s continuing freethought legacy

Rockford, IL’s continuing freethought legacy

Rockford, IL, a city founded on two sides of a river called Rock that the original settlers had to “ford” across, hence the name, and that old rugged Christian faith, was initially home to New Englanders, followed by an eclectic ethnic and religious mix, notably the Swedish. Yet apart from being the home of Cheap Trick’s original four, the sock monkey (the sock part), and dwindling manufacturing firms and metal screw factories, it’s also the former stomping ground of freethinker Jane Addams (b. 1860 in Cedarville, Illinois), first woman Nobel Prize winner, founder and author of Twenty Years at Hull-House, as well as home to Mattie Parry Krekel (b. 1840), incessant writer to The Truth Seeker, seminal free thought newsletter, no longer circulating, and birthplace of Earl Lee (b. 1955), Librarian, Poet and Parodist (Kiss My Left Behind)…

Playing ‘what if’ with the Septuagint

Playing “what-if” with the Septuagint.

Not every textual critic plays by the rules, but in order to bend or break them, you must first come to know them. It helps to be fluent in the ancient language manuscripts, and it is also helpful to have good e-texts available to the fortunate few. Of course, would one be so inclined, new e-text versions could be concocted.
