Good catch! Thank you. Fixed.

(Sorry, I duplicated Ola Washington’s book link by accident.)

The “my article” link actually refers to

so anyone looking may find it at

In reply to CJ Parker. No. I've been totally outdone by the book. You should get the book.

Hi!
Quick question for you. I read your paper on Tai Solarin that you linked to (awesome, btw). Usually your articles are the best and most authoritative on a subject, and I shouldn’t bother reading anything else. Should I purchase the book you linked to if I already read your paper? I don’t want to waste my money on an inferior writing if it isn’t as good as your paper, which I can get for free.

I’ve recently discovered the 17th century German atheist Matthias Knutzen, though English versions of his pamphlets seem pretty thin on the ground.

I’m glad you’ve made Solarin known to me, I’m always happy to read about someone other than Sam Harris.
