It may be a bit of a review for someone of your caliber, but he does a nice job of making things accessible to those that are either not familiar with or have limited knowledge on the subject. It is fairly concise (208 pages).

Went back and forth from the Heron Hill Chronicles to various periodicals, but finally finished it.sweetandsour wrote: ↑Tue Aug 01, 2017 9:13 pmHeron Hill Chronicles, by George Reiger. It's a light read; I'm looking for a good book/commentary on the Psalms.
Ordered, and just received The Adventures of Henry Thoreau, by Michael Sims. It was recommended by a friend and former co-worker, who says that Thoreau was born 200 years ago (July, 1817), and so "is popular this year".

A Parliament of Monsters

Just started this. It promises to the sort of book that Dan Brown could have written -- if he had known anything about history, Christianity, or how to develop interesting characters.

Re: What book are you reading?
Fun fact: At least two books were written to blast the bunk of Brown's The Da Vinci Code.Skip wrote: ↑Sun Sep 10, 2017 10:24 pmI often forget how gracious you can be; thanks for the reminder.Del wrote: ↑Sun Sep 10, 2017 6:27 pmA Parliament of Monsters

And the two that I know of are both entitled The Da Vinci Deception.
- by Erwin Lutzer, a prominent Bible Christian pastor in Chicago
- by Ted Sri, Mark Shea, and the Editors of Catholic Exchange.
Recall that Brown's main offense was hyping his fiction as though it were based on authentic historical research. His thesis was that Jesus and Mary Magdalene were married, had children, and their descendants were married into the French nobility. This line of descendants was hidden by shenanigans in the early Church. Certain monks of Opus Dei were the enforcers of this secret. (Blunder #1: Opus Dei was founded in 1928. It is a spiritual movement of lay people; there are no monks, robes, ancient secrets, etc.)
The secular media were puffing this story with unusual glee. Even made a Big Movie out of it.
Why has The Da Vinci Code sold tens of millions of copies worldwide? Is the book’s phenomenal success due to its compelling characters, thrilling plot points, or impeccable research? No. The Da Vinci Code has become an international hit because of its lurid prose and its sensationalistic—even blasphemous—claims regarding the “true” history of Christianity. In the end, it is nothing more than a thinly veiled assault on the person of Jesus Christ and His Church. Millions of people, who are not experts in history, art, theology, or archeology, are being led astray by The Da Vinci Code’s fraudulent assertions and invented history.
