Life has crowded in on the time I would normally devote to reading in some very unpredictable and odd ways lately. Each month I had been posting a list of the books that I had read so that I would at least have a record of this. I last did this back in September so I'm catching up. It is quite a hodgepodge of books.

Bible Translation on the Threshold of the Twenty-First Century edited by Athalya Brenner and Jan Willem Van Henten
My interest in linguistics and bible translation is growing. This book had a very interesting article on an Orthodox perspective on translation that I plan to write to more about.

Jack: A Life of C.S. Lewis by George Sayer
Portions of this book felt like a reaction to past biographers. It did provide some intriguing looks into Lewis's life. I also added a lot of books to my “to read list” because of it.

The Idea of the University: A Reexamination by Jaroslav Pelikan
A little bit too esoteric for my tastes - even as a graduate of a university. This book did introduce me to John Henry Newman. I plan to read more by Pelikan.

The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse: Religion, War, Famine and Death in Reformation Europe by Andrew Cunningham and Ole Peter Grell
It is only through the study of the past that we can understand the present. A fascinating look at this time period.
