A highly-readable, well -researched book about Catholics in Elizabethan and Jacobean England. It carries lessons we still need today about religious tolerance and the dangers of state involvement in matters of conscience. #letterG #LitsyAtoZ & #doublespin @TheAromaofBooks @Texreader

I‘m not a huge reader of non-fiction and when I do read non-fiction, I tend to prefer books that read like stories rather than a list of facts. This was not a book that read like a story so I struggled to stay engaged. I did learn a fair amount about a subject for which had zero knowledge.

This was Jan‘s pick for our partner read this month (little known history) although which it was little known to me, it‘s not an obscure topic.

I am weirdly fascinated by Thomas. This was a great listen.

Continuing my exploration of the Tudor period with this #doublespin choice. I bought it after hearing the author on a history panel discussing Henry VIII and enjoyed the last book I read by her (tagged in comments.) @TheAromaofBooks

Working my way through The Hinges of History series. It‘s quickly becoming one of my favorite nonfiction history books.

Sproul outlines six major differences between the Roman Catholic Church and the Reformation, emphasizing that these are not minor issues that can easily be overlooked. On the contrary, they are significant matters that lie at the foundation of Christianity. This makes it an excellent primer for Christians interested in exploring these differences.

Recent acquisitions:

📖 Ecohumanism (Volume 15 of Humanism Today) edited by Robert B. Tapp
