https://i.imgur.com/FXywn1H.jpg Working my way through several books in this particular patristics series. This is a good one. Both the intro and the main text. I found Athanasius' tactic to combat evil spirits to be highly intriguing; making the sign of the cross. That's provided a bit of contempl...

The Consolation of Philosophy by Boethius, still in the intro https://pictures.abebooks.com/inventory/md/md30795542145.jpg Pipeson and I are huge fans of Boethius. Pipeson read it in high school.... and it was the first book that he wanted to re-read after he finished his philosophy & theology ...
