March 2023 in Review

A fourth of the year has gone by already! If January was SCIENCE MONTH!!! and February was as Southern as fried green tomatoes, then March was a month for the ol’ to be read pile. I’ve got a few unreviewed books listed below and will see if I can’t post something for them tomorrow.

Lent:
The Lost Gospel of Judas Iscariot. Of no spiritual value, of course, but it was interesting to read.
The Romance of Religion, Fr. Dwight Longenecker. An expansion of Lewis’ view of Christianity
Paul Among the People, Sarah Ruden. A re-appreciation of how counterculture Paul’s writings were in the world of the early Roman empire.
Liturgy of the Ordinary, Tish Harrison Warren. A sacramental approach to the mundane.
