God Doesn’t Grade on a Curve

October 2, 2026 · 13 min

Show notes

In this episode, Douglas Wilson considers Sidney Sweeney, sports gambling, and the temptation for Christians to grade morality on a political curve. He continues his study of sin with nosphizomai, the New Testament word for keeping back or purloining, and reviews R. J. Snell’s Acedia, a study of sloth as a joyless loss of delight.
