We live in a contentious time, where it can sometimes seem like our arguments are as noisy as they are shallow. Yet we possess a great inheritance of wisdom in the Christian tradition that can shake up our present-day perspective and give us deeper roots in richer soil if only we would seek it out. In this monthly series, we’ll take C.S. Lewis’s advice to read the old books, at least two representing a different era. We’ll study great figures from the Christian tradition, alongside some insightful writers on present-day questions.
