medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture

> The Guardian article referenced Ben Hur and chided the novel for spurious
information about the catacombs. The creator of Ben Hur was himself quite a
character: Ben's story is said to be a bit autobiographical.

is worth a visit, if you find yourself in Crawfordsville with nothing much
else to do.
come to think of it, my memory of living in Crawfordsville for a year suggests
to me that there ain't much else to do there...
so much for Medieval Religion.
