Where am I? You're in cyberspace, of course! This web page provides links to writings of Theodore Plantinga that fit under the general heading that's supposed to appear at the very top of your netbrowser screen. Other TP writings can be found on the Myodicy home page. The reformational history series (temporarily suspended, along with Myodicy, when Frictophobia was launched) has its own home page. And then there are additional writings that can be accessed through yet another web page. Please note that there is some overlap between Frictophobia and Myodicy: the former includes links to documents in the latter.

A good question. Does it allow meat-eating? Another good question. The two are related.

Wendy Shalit on Modesty
Is modesty just a fond memory, or are there resources in our culture -- or perhaps some of the religious traditions that exist in our midst -- that might bring it back? Wendy Shalit's experiences going through a secular liberal arts college are well worth pondering.

It All Starts with Autonomy
Today people outdo one another in their outrage over sexual harassment. Is there still room to raise critical questions?

Are Professors Like Married Men?
Married men are supposed to be promise-keepers. How about professors in Christian colleges? Or can we get by with a common-law professoriate?
