With the advice of C. S. Lewis and the help of 25 Books Every Christian Should Read, I’ve begun reading and discussing old books.
Really old books.
I’ve recently read On the Incarnation by Athanasius (who was born before 300 AD), The Confessions of Augustine (born before 400 AD), and am in the middle of The Sayings of the Desert Fathers who were contemporaries of both Athanasius and Augustine.
The way these men saw the world, the way they thought, the way they followed Christ was very different from how we process the world.
When you give a book recommendation, what do you recommend? What about recommendations for Christian books?
With 2,000 years of church history, why do we tend to recommend only books from the last 100 years?
