It's a very detailed and dry book

I'm slowly working through Orthodoxy

I want to read "Heretics" next

I never read Chesterton

Then I'm going to move onto Tolkein and Lewis

I have read Lewis

He's essential to understanding Lewis and Tolkein on a deeper level

Lewis is excellent

And astoundingly eccumenical without compromising his Anglican beliefs

>tfw have 65+ books

He has an Eastern view of Sin

In unread pile

Not sure that is viewable to you guys or not. That's my book list rn

I'll check it out on my PC

Underlined books are unread or in progress. Books not underlined are books I've finished in the past year

I should add my pile

It's 65+ books of history
Theology
Military theory/history/memoir
And sci fi

Should be able to view now

I assume that was you that requested access

It's connected to my school email which is weird sometimes when sharing Google docs

I'm going to copy and paste to a different account and reshare

@Arkona 92 If you want a really cool East book. Pratum Spirituale by Moschos is excellent

John Wortley's edition is exceedingly thorough on footnotes too to explain context, translation choice, and manuscript choice.

Moschos trained Patriarch Sophronius of Jerusalem who was very important for the 5th council.

Chesterton is peak just by virtue of how fun he is to read, idk what it is about his style but it just makes me smile

I enjoyed Orthodoxy a lot, been a long time since I've read consistently so I don't remember most of it, but it's one of those books where I know it influenced my thinking a lot even if I can't name the specifics anymore

@Quarantine_Zone it was me that requested access.
When I get off work, I'll compile a Google docs of all my unread, currently reading and what I want (if I have time for that)

The only time I got exposed to Chesterton was in HS when a girl did "Man who was Thursday" and made the whole class read excerpts of it

In that class, I made people turn away from Lord of the Flies

I recently saw a production of The Surprise by a local theatre group.

Was very good.

Definitely recommend Chesterton, especially to Catholics (who he was writing for in the first place). Man had a way with words, especially in his theological work.

Finished butchers crossing by john williams

So damn good

I'm especially involved in egalitarianism vs complimentarianism, so I just ordered "Women in the Church" by Andreas Korstenberger and other complimentarian theologians. Andreas in particular is great at responding to egalitarians so I recommend his stuff

Prots should really get behind complimentarianism more, it's really frustrating seeing the woman heritics creeping in when the roles they exploit shouldn't even be open to them...

Patriarchy>complementarianism

I mean, primarily yeah, but also I don't like minimizing the importance of the wife's support role. A lot to be said about a Godly, supportive wife who can mother your kids while you're off working and fighting the good fight.

Patriarchy doesn't minimize the wife's role. It simply organizes the economy of marriage properly

Yeah, man is definitely the head either way
