A few others come to mind, and they are intellectual giants

Reknowned Oxford analytical philosopher Elizabeth Anscombe

Renowned British logician and Wykeham Professor of Logic at Oxford University, Sir Michael Dummett

Philosopher of science, Nicholas Rescher

British writer G.K. Chesterton, whose book, The Everlasting Man, was the major influence of C.S. Lewis' conversion to Christianity.

For some reason that Michael Dummett link didn't work. Here's the correct one: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Dummett

Excellent. My heart leaps up for Anscombe!

An ethicist friend in the UK, who was a student of hers, says she also had behind her home a garden which she loved, and where her and Peter Geach's seven children played. I think they all saw the Lord!



Rembrandt's portrayal of Jesus appearing to Mary Magdalene
Note the gardening spade and the straw hat. So cool.

`

Jesus appearing to Mary Magdalene as a gardener.

`

Another one on the gardener theme. As a piddling-gardener I get a kick out of these.

`

I believe it’s “Noli Me Tangere” by Janssens-Wildens? Love the hat!

`

Spranger’s “Noli Me Tangere”

`

`

Giordano Luca’s (?) “Noli Me Tangere”


A HAPPY AND BLESSED EASTER TO YOU, AC Beach Patrol!!
