A new novel by Barbara Kingsolver is definitely worth a long look! I don’t always endorse her conclusions, but I greatly admire her ambitious aims. She takes on such complexity, plunging into a historical moment and empathizing with her characters. Hope you enjoy it, along with all the others. I have one of Andrew Louth’s books, a little book called The Wisdom of the Greek Fathers.

we’ll see, I have been recently disappointed by authors I had liked so much, I hope this will not be the case with her.
I don’t know this book by Louth, but I believe anything he writes is worth it. besides the one I’m reading, I have read: The Origins of the Christian Mystical Tradition: From Plato to Denys. A fantastic book that I think you would enjoy, as current Roman Catholicism has sometimes lost its mystical roots. Here you can find the sources: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/974479.The_Origins_of_the_Christian_Mystical_Tradition. By the way, you should look him up on youtube, great conferences. and delightful English accent, like Kallistos Ware!
