Connect The Dots

It's been quite a while since I've posted anything. Still trying to settle on a dissertation topic. I hope to get back in the swing and start posting more frequently.

In the meantime, a little fun. Here's a challenge for anyone out there who cares...who can offer up a suggestion for a possible connection between the three books I'm currently reading and what they have to say about my criminological perspective? The three books I'm currently reading are:



1. a biography of the 16th century Protestant reformer John Calvin entitled "John Calvin: A Heart for Devotion, Doctrine, and Doxology" edited by Burk Parsons (an aside: I recently discovered that Burk Parsons was one of the original members of the Backstreet Boys and was later approached by producer Lou Pearlman to be the lead member of N'Sync but instead chose to go into the ministry)







2. "Fear and Trembling" by the 19th century Danish existentialist philosopher Soren Kierkegaard








3. "Nudge: Improving Decisions About Health, Wealth, and Happiness", the New York Times bestseller by Richard Thaler and Cass Sunstein
