Good Morning, Wyatt. Thank you for suggesting these books. It reminds me to reread a couple of them. Blessings, Richard.

I'm currently reading Institutes but find it a bit cumbersome and I have to look up lots of words because Calvin has a vocabulary like I've never seen! A more readable version is being produced and hopefully will be available this year. Thanks for the list...I'll be jumping on these books as soon as I finish my current list.

I've only read one of these, but will be adding several to my list of books to read. Thank you for sharing, Wyatt!

Good list. I’ve always been a fan on Chrysostom as well, particularly his sermons on Matthew

I'm glad I've read Epictetus at least. Just two questions: Is it worth buying these books and studying them? I assume yes.

And for Calvin: I saw the massive collection of his Institutes in a store. Is it worth reading all of it?

Fantastic list. Thanks for this. I slogged through on the soul and the resurrection till it got amazing near the end. Such a great read.

Putting the Moses book on my reading list now.

Love the section on Epictetus. Totally agree on finding and valuing lived wisdom. I find it complements the scriptures in a lot of ways.

Good list. I’ve read Augustine’s Confessions and On the Trinity. What living theologians do you read?
