A Selection of my 2023 Reading

Here are a few books I worked (or am still working) through from this past year or so.

A very insightful treatment of Tolkien’s legendarium. My favorite takeaway is learning that Tolkien drew inspiration for Gandalf from St. Boniface.

A short survey detailing what we know about the lives of the Apostles and other NT figures after the book of Acts ends. It was quite informative, but in some places seemed overly cynical about some church tradition regarding various figures. While there is certainly plenty of exaggerations in some of the tales that are told, we also shouldn’t be so quick to dismiss. Overall, a good introduction to some of the VERY early church history.

I’m still working through this volume, but it is very rewarding so far. It is well-researched, and paints a vibrant picture of the Anglo-Saxons.

I picked this up to pursue a thread that I’m more and more convinced of: the unity of the 12 minor prophets. This book scratches the surface of that theses, and provides some helpful commentary on each of the minor prophets. There are some interpretive differences I would take with regarding eschatology.

A very good book, despite its Roman Catholic bias, it retained an evangelical heart. Great refresher course on early church fathers.

Fantastic. A great commentary on Daniel, with a bunch more rabbit trails defending the preterist view.

A useful book for preachers. The subtitle says it all.

The book itself is a bit clunky (suffers from poor editing and formatting). HOWEVER, it is a really fun look at how the Scriptures alone provide us a complete chronology from Adam down to Christ.

Nothing too in depth here, a bit pedestrian. But Motyer is generally an author worth reading.

Led a men’s book discussion through this one. Helpful for that sort of setting, and generated good conversations.

A very good book on church history. All the volumes are worth having, even just for reference materials.

I have not completed this book yet, but I find myself sampling the punch in this bowl more and more regularly. It’s quite good; and even where I differ, Rushdoony always gives a lot of food for thought.
