At my age, with a sense of what God is calling me to do, I cannot not read and study.
My reading and studies group into categories. For example, I continue to read in the area of metaphor theory and hermeneutics. And philosophical issues like free will and determinism. Metaethics. Apologetics (arguments for and against God's existence). Philosophical and theological anthropology (nature of persons; human sexuality). Dr. Seuss. And, of course, Christology.
Last week I began to read Taking Religion Seriously, by Charles Murray, "arguably the most influential social scientist alive" (Jonah Goldberg).
In it, Murray shares his intellectual journey from agnosticism to exploring Christianity through scientific and historical analysis, examining consciousness, morality, and biblical scholarship.
