I’m reading N. T. Wright’s Simply Christian. It has been interesting so far seeing him taking an alternative approach to truth in a conservatively Christian manner. He has started moving away from focusing on winning people by arguments based on absolute truths that much of the Western Church has taken. He wants to focus more on Justice, the unseen that we seek, relationships, and beauty to help us get to even the concept of God. He seems similar to C. S. Lewis’s Mere Christianity, which is apologetic in a Modern sense. But Wright is differing on some levels since he is interacting with more post-modern critique than Lewis ever did. I look forward to this.
I’m also reading Umberto Eco’s Foucalt’s Pendulum, Orson Scott Card’s Ender’s Game, and Henri Nouwen’s In the Name of Jesus. So far, the reading is excellent.
Grace and Peace.
