Summer Reading: Reading Scripture with the Church Fathers

This book has been in my shelf since 2007.  Actually, it sat on my desk for the past couple of years because, "I am going to read this.  Really.  I mean it."

Well, now we are hitting the summer lull in the schedule, so I will be plowing through it.  I hope it will be easy plowing. 

An early quotation: "My counsel is to surround your entrance into the world of the fathers with humility, self-awareness, a listening ear, prayer and a sense of humor.  It is better to chuckle at the periodic patristic quirk than to allow our self-righteous anger wall off their insights." (Page 36)
