5 Things to Know about Investing in Art Right Now
https://www.artsy.net/article/artsy-editorial-5-things-to-know-about-investing-in-art-right-now A Summary: Macroeconomic uncertainty has increased collectors’ views of art as an investment. Collectors are now more concerned with return from art investment. Certain sectors of the art market are outperforming general ‘economic indicators’ (like gold), though overall the art market is “down”. Art-secured loans are becoming more flexible in the US.

Certainty and Doubt
Christians have looked warily at postmodernism for some time now. Its amorphous nature has never been appealing, and its candy-shop variety of metaphysical conclusions has been hard to accept.

Why I am One of Those Fundamentalist, Sola-Scriptura People
I am a conservative Protestant, but I follow a good number of blogs by Roman Catholics, liberal Protestants, and a number of other people as well.
