Oh, thank you for asking.
- I’m not reading any fiction right now, but as is my wont during such seasons, I’m reading plays instead. This time its Angels in America. This was probably prompted by having watched the mini-series again recently in all its splendidness.
- I’ve a little theology on the go too. I’m taking another look at David Jenkin’s book The Contradiction of Christianity. I had to read it whilst I was studying Divinity in St Andrews a long time ago and didn’t make much of it then. It improves on second reading and with the space of 20 years to reflect upon it.
- There are a couple of different translations of the Cloud of Unknowing by the bed which I’ve been dipping in and out of. Again, these are old friends not new discoveries.
- I’ve had a go at the Rule of St Benedict too recently. This is new for me – I’d never read it before at all. The thing that strikes me most of all is how beastly it is towards children. I know that it is the product of its time and all that, but I’d never previously reflected on the possible spiritual roots of some of the child abuse of the Western Church before.
- I’ve had a go at Wikinomics too but still can’t work out why wikis have not gone mainstream in the way that blogs have done.
So there.
