Dr. Timothy Patitsas is the Interim Dean of Hellenic College and the Assistant Professor of Ethics at Holy Cross. His book, "The Ethics of Beauty," attempts "[...] to recover one of the most ancient emphases of Orthodox spirituality, which is the firm priority given to combating the sensual rather than the intellectual passions [and] how this translates into a consoling and liberating Beauty-first approach to Orthodox ethics and life.

"Why Are We Talking About Rabbits?" takes you beyond rhetorical "rabbits" and the shallow approach that the media and most thinkers today take to examine contemporary cultural phenomena. Using theology, history, philosophy and years of travel in Mali, the Republic of Georgia, Haiti, and beyond, John Heers offers a refreshing take to how we got to where we are now. WAWTAR is all about talking about those heavy things… lightly.
