I found this quote on a bookmark I picked up at some used-book store. Unfortunately, used-book stores are getting rare.

There is a thread in a “Christians Only” forum where members discuss the books they are reading. I think there needs to be a thread like that for Christians and non-Christians and that it will be profitable for both groups to have access to it.

When I was teaching Christian theology to college students - Christians and non-Christians - I had a sign displayed in my classroom:

Read widely. Read deeply. Read thoughtfully. Read critically.

I read the Bible daily. I read other books daily too. I read books primarily on the subject of theology, but I read books on other subjects occasionally too.

A few months ago I began reading and rereading the Ante-Nicene Church Fathers. I began, at the suggestion of a Roman Catholic friend I made on Christianity Board, with Tertullian. To date, I’ve read / reread 24 of his extant writings. I have a few more of his to read to complete them all. I’ve also read all of the extant writings of Tatian and Athenagoras last month.

Today I’ve begun reading the first of 3 books written by Theophilus, all titled To Autolycus.

What books are you reading?
Hi Matthias, how are you all? We have been praying and studying with the Torah Portions.org

Love, Walter and Debbie

"God. The Science, The Evidence" by Michael-Yves Bollore' and Oliver Bonnassies.

Not read like a novel, but a compilation of over "20 scientists and renowned specialists". It's not what I would usually read but, I thought I would brush up my apologetics a bit.
The book is pretty big and has a ton of information. I will be looking at the section about the flat earth theory, since we do have a thread on that. Now, I'm reading the section about Jesus and who He is and who He is not!

Peace!
