Calvin Seerveld now has his own pages on All of life redeemed. I have put up the following articles as pdfs:
- God's gifts our thank offering - an interview
- Reading the Bible and understanding art
- A Christian tin-can theory of man
- Pain is a four-letter word
- Philosophy as schooled memory
- Reading the Bible like a grown-up child
- The gift of artistry - God's clothing for human life
(My thanks to Geoff Wilson for scanning these articles.)
Most of Calvin's books can be purchased through the Tuppence Press. A great place to start if you are new to Seerveld is In the Fields of the Lord: A Calvin Seerveld Reader edited by Craig Bartholomew. It has an excellent introduction to the thought of Seerveld by Gideon Strauss and Craig Bartholomew.
Another site that has some excellent Seerveld resources is: Seerveld Texts.
"A tin can characterises our societies better than the most sumptuous jewel or the rarest stamp". I guess this is Marcel Mauss as found in Marcel Fournier Marcel Mauss Princeton University Press 2006 pp.277-8 as quoted in Patrick Wilcken Claude Levi-Strauss: The Poet in the Laboratory Bloomsbury 2010 p. 18.
