The Literate Soul What Four Thousand Years of Reading Books Teaches Us About Loving God Nadya Williams Christians have long been lovers of the Word—and lovers of words. But as digital technology reshapes our habits and attention, many sense that something essential is being lost. In The Literate Soul , classicist Nadya Williams offers a sweeping historical jour- ney through four thousand years of reading culture—from ancient Mesopotamia and the early church to medieval monasteries and modern libraries. Along the way, she shares how reading across history has formed Christian minds and communities, why the love of books deepens our love for Scripture and for God, and how recovering a culture of reading can strengthen faith today. Nadya Williams (PhD, Princeton University), a classicist and historian, is the author of Cultural Christians in the Early Church and Christians Reading Classics. She is a senior fellow at the Ashbrook Center in Ashland University, where she also serves as interim director of the MFA program in creative writing. She is managing editor for Mere Orthodoxy and hosts the Christians Reading Classics podcast. The Entangled Word Keeping Company with Scripture Through the Church Year Lauren F. Winner What does it mean to love Scripture—even when God’s Word seems strange to us? In The Entangled Word , acclaimed author Lauren F. Winner invites readers to join her as she preaches through the church year. In unexpected, gracious, and wise sermons, Winner helps us find fresh ways into familiar texts and kin - dles our affection for God’s Word. “Perhaps Winner’s very best gift to the church is a deep understanding of what it is to pray rhythmically, in response to the moments and seasons of the Chris- tian year. Hence, in this small volume she has created a truly valuable work of practical liturgical theology.” —Ellen F. Davis, Duke Divinity School “This book just might change your life. I want to read it again, slowly over the course of a year, to help the wisdom of God get entangled in my life.” —The Most Rev. Michael B. Curry, retired presiding bishop of the Episcopal Church
