About meLove the Lord, love people, have a family. Life is good.
About my libraryI've been trying to figure out where we Christians came from. I read history, Christian history, biography and other things that grab my attention. I read Bamber Gascoigne's The Christians and just finished Christianity's Dangerous Idea. Both these writers are very good and reflect the scholarship and attitudes that I admire. Mostly I like happy people that think about life. I like Joseph Epstein also.

I appreciate hearing more about you. Your biographical info is most interesting. Thanks for sharing.
I'm still plodding through the third and final volume in Foote's Civil War. However, I get easily sidetracked. I've lately pulled out six or eight of my "old" (mostly 1980s), books on worship. I've been grappling with the changes in worship style/music/etc. that most evangelical churches have experienced over the past decade or so, with the intention of making a thoughtful critique and not a grumpy, curmudgeony one. There was a good article in the most recent issue of Christianity Today on the subject. I don't know if you saw that.
I haven't read the MacGrath book you mentioned, but I have read some of his other work, and appreciate his scholarship. I own a copy of Grant's Memoirs and haven't read that either, but my understanding is that some historians consider it one of the finest of its kind.
Blessings,
Dean
