I think the library will hunt me down if I fail to return these books in the next week. I’m pretty sure I’ve maxed out how many times I can renew these titles.
It isn’t that I’m a lazy reader, it is that I am a disorganized reader-and I cannot help myself-I want to read everything…when this couples with daily life distractions-it means-I fall behind.
Women in the World of the Earliest Christians by Lynn H. Cohick
–This book attempts to depict the life activities of the average “everywoman” during the GrecoRoman period and time of the early Church.
I’ve found it balanced and not laced with intense feminism-it is more historical in nature.
Biblical Literacy by Rabbi Telushkin
–I’ve enjoyed this book because, like many of you, I find the OT dreadfully boring. Rabbi Telushkin humanizes OT characters and interprets events in traditional Jewish context-a context that I find fresh and appealing in comparison to my narrow-minded Southern protestant background (Though I was not religious-I was born into a religious family/society.).
I’m giving myself one week to complete these texts. It’s that-or return them-and check them out again-which-I really don’t want to do.
Have a happy reading week!
