Existential Physics: A Scientist's Guide to Life's Biggest Questions
Sabine Hossenfelder
I’m enjoying this month’s “outside-my-field” read, Sabine Hossenfelder’s (@skdh) “Existential Physics.” Sadly, it’s going to take me two months to finish, but it’s worth it. Even as a believer, I appreciate her honest skepticism. You’ll have to read it to understand.

Urban Legends of Theology: 40 Common Misconceptions
Michael E. Wittmer
Theology 201: What a great addition to the “Urban Legends of…” series from @BHAcademic! Get a copy of “Urban Legends of Theology” by @MikeWittmer. I’m convinced a church could teach Bible, theology, and church history with the four “Urban Legends” books. https://t.co/sLzFNs7gXy

The Christian Tradition: A History of the Development of Doctrine, Volume 1: The Emergence of the Catholic Tradition (100-600)
Jaroslav Pelikan
@DevDad4955 I would generally recommend McGrath’s “Iustitua Dei.” But also JND Kelly’s “Early Christian Doctrines” is old but still good. And Jaroslav Pelikan’s volume of of “The Christian Tradition” provides a nice overview of several areas, including soteriology.
