New Books

Every so often I get inspired to read some new books.  The problem is, I have a bunch I still haven’t finished cause I just can’t get through them quickly, but then I decide I want to read new ones regardless.

That being said, I was inspired last week to order some new books, and the last of them arrived today.  Hopefully I’ll get through these ones eventually.  I’m most excited about the first on on the list.  It’s a brand new one by Andy Crouch.  Here’s the list:

Paul And Empire: Religion And Power In Roman Imperial Society
