Professor Bainbridge...on law, politics, religion, culture & food

Stuntz and Skeel Launch New Blawg

David Skeel and Bill Stuntz have started a new blog called Less than the Least:

We are both law professors and evangelical Protestants – a weird combination in our time. We hope it’s also an interesting combination. We plan to write about the things that interest us, professionally and personally: crime and criminal justice (Stuntz), corporate governance, credit, and bankruptcy (Skeel), the culture wars, politics, literature and the arts, and other topics.

They’re two of my favorite people and two of the smartest (and nicest) people I know. So I will be adding their blog to the blogroll, my Google reader list, and following them with interest.

As many of his fellow academics know, Stuntz has experienced tremendous physical suffering, about which he has often written movingly. In a recent post on the new blog, he recounts his long-term back problems and his new struggle with colon cancer. It’s a short but profound meditation on faith in the midst of pain. Go read the whole thing. And be sure to keep Bill in your thoughts and prayers.
