** Jane Austen at seminary?
------------------------------------------------------------
Our February issue has arrived in mailboxes. It’s our annual theological education issue ([link removed]) , which is always one of my favorites. This year’s iteration includes five feature articles that explore a wide array of questions facing seminaries and divinity schools (and prep schools, and computer programmers, and community organizers). Most of these articles haven’t hit our website yet, but here is Elizabeth Eisenstadt Evans’s report on how four schools are dreaming ([link removed]) and innovating.
On an unrelated note (or is it?), I got the chance to chat with CC Voices columnist Rachel Mann about Jane Austen and the Lenten season ([link removed]) . Rachel recently wrote a 40-day reader based on Austen’s novels. Whether you’ve never read Austen (like me) or are a huge fan (like Rachel), I think you might find this conversation interesting and surprising.
Plus more great new content below, including a book review about the importance of understanding parking ([link removed]) and an essay about the gradual accumulation of spiritual growth ([link removed]) .

** The cost of parking ([link removed])
------------------------------------------------------------
“Rather than provide a pamphlet on parking policies and how to change them, Henry Grabar tells us the story of parking in America.”
review by G. Travis Norvell
