The past two posts on Princeton have focused on places.\u00a0 This one focuses on people.\u00a0 My last week Princeton included four wonderful days with some terrific folk.\u00a0 My first was with well-known artist and author, Makoto Fujimura or Mako for short.\u00a0 Mako has recently written an absorbing book called Silence and Beauty<\/em>.\u00a0 It is a commentary of sorts on Shusaku Endo’s novel, Silence<\/em>.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

We took a day trip to Yale.\u00a0 There we met with David and Karen Mahan.\u00a0 Doreen worked with Dave at Virginia Tech in the early 1980s. Both of them were on staff with Campus Crusade for Christ (Cru).\u00a0 I met Dave during the summer of 1985.\u00a0 Our son, Chris, is looking into various graduate programs. Yale is one of his possibilities so it was wonderful that he could join us.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

James McPherson is widely hailed as our greatest living historian of the Civil War.\u00a0 In 1989 he won the Pulitzer Prize for his magisterial book, Battle Cry of Freedom<\/em>.\u00a0 I spoke with Professor McPherson on how various people processed the carnage of the war.<\/strong><\/p>\n

My week finished up with Carl Trueman, Professor of Church History at Westminster Theological Seminary.\u00a0 Carl and I have corresponded via email, but never met in person.\u00a0 He is a terrific historian and wonderful essayist. Make sure to check him out on First Things<\/em> and Mortification of Spin<\/em>.
