Too often, we precisely monitor the former and profligately praise the latter. “Honesty” is a word that, when thrown at journalism, unhelpfully describes both a baseline and a vaguer horizon, a legal minimum and an ethical summum. With characteristic briskness, she tells us that she learned two things from him: “Firstly, to start an essay without bullshit preamble, and secondly, that betrayal is part of life.” She continues, “I value it as part of my store of experience-part of what I am and how I have learnt to understand the world.” A writing lesson and a life lesson: Garner’s work as a journalist and a novelist constantly insists on the connection between writing about life and comprehending it to try to do both responsibly and honestly-without bullshit preamble, or, for that matter, bullshit amble-is what it means to be alive. In the early nineteen-sixties, when the Australian writer Helen Garner was a student at the University of Melbourne, she had a brief relationship with a twenty-four-year-old man who was her tutor.

His book is segmented into 5 chapters: the fundamental “theology” of community, some practical advice on community, some practical advice on “alone-ness” and how that relates to community, the “ministry” or “service” of those in the community, and finally, confession of sin within the community. This is probably why it is appreciated by such a broad range of churches. There is a sort of “mere Christianity” or “mere Christendom” which arises from this book and from his writings at large. On many points, his teaching on the Church intersect with the emphases in the Reformed Confessions: especially in relation to the three marks of the Church (preaching, sacraments, and discipline). As a Reformed Christian, it is interesting to read the writings of a Lutheran who was at the epicentre of the confessing German Churches during WWII. I just finished reading through his work “Life Together.” In here, he explores the nature of Christian community and strives to build a Biblical basis for our understanding of Christian Community. In much of what he writes, he strives to establish it with Biblical clarity. In spite of some of his own weaknesses in theology, it is clear in his many writings that He was a man of the Word.

But I think worth a read given the US-China rivalry will likely dominate politics of the coming decades. Not the best-written book, I think Colby tries a bit too hard to sound scientific and theoretical. Colby tries to derive from first principles the current US strategy of restricting China’s sphere of influence and, most importantly, stopping China from subduing Taiwan. This book lays out a suitable US strategy of denial (= containment) of China. “The Strategy of Denial: American Defense in an Age of Great Power Conflict”, by Elbridge Colby. Influenced by the start of the Ukraine war, my reading this year took a dark turn: I read a lot on military history, strategy and war memoirs.
