Re: What Are You Reading Currently, 2.0
Since I posted last:
I am nearly done with The Righteous Mind, less than 100 pages. I am pretty far along in How to Disappear, but I've slowed on that one. I read a small book called On Tyranny: 20 Lessons from the 20th Century by Timothy Synder.
I thought it was going somewhere good but it just ended up a hit piece against President Trump.
I also started reading Reflections on the Revolution in France by Sir Edmond Burke, and also The Conquest of Gaul by Gaius Julius Caesar.

Re: What Are You Reading Currently, 2.0
Ebay has a title by S. C. McClain with the title Students Handbook of Facts in Church History.
Who was SC McClain ? Is this title familiar to anyone ?? It is from 1959.

Re: What Are You Reading Currently, 2.0
I finished reading The Righteous Mind and began reading two books:
The Drama of the Gifted Child: The Search for the True Self by Alice Miller and Why Bad Things Happen to Good People by Harold Kushner.
But I've stalled a bit on these, however, and instead began reading Man and His Symbols by Dr. Carl Jung.

Re: What Are You Reading Currently, 2.0
I am still reading Man and His Symbols. About halfway through.
I recently read The First Paul: Reclaiming the Radical Visionary Behind the Church's Conservative Icon by John Dominic Crossan and Marcus Borg. A typical liberal revisionist view of Paul. Some interesting historical and cultural notes worth reading, but a lot of mess, mostly.

Right now I am also reading Against Empathy: The Case for Rational Compassion by Dr. Paul Bloom.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01CY2LCZI...ng=UTF8&btkr=1
Also, in other news, I have finished reading the entire NLT. It's the first translation beside the KJV that I've read all the way through. I am nearly done with the OT in the ESV. I've started the NASB as the next on my list of English translations to read through.

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.
"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.
"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."

I read Jung before I became a Christian. What do you think of his ideas so far?
