What does it mean to be human in a world full of zombies but without God?

Dear Friends,

Welcome back to Dan Hugger’s Substack where I post weekly links to my writing, podcasting, and reading:

1. Writing

Today on the Acton Institute’s ‘Religion & Liberty Online’ I explore ‘The Disordered Loves of The Last of Us’ and unpack its one severe lesson.

2. Podcasting

There was no new podcasting this week but I'd like to share an interview from earlier this year with Josh Lewis of ‘Saving Elephants’: ‘Judging Lord Acton’. It was a wide ranging and excellent conversation on the place of Lord Acton in the modern conservative movement.

3. Reading

The Bible

The Bhagavad Gita

The Yoga Sutras
