I've just started "Out Of The Silent Planet" by C.S. Lewis. I think I'm beginning to see where he's going to get theological, but that's ok 'cos he always does it in a way that isn't contrived.

I tried to read the first Covenant book a long time ago. Maybe I was immature, but at the time I couldn't come to grips with the protagonist raping the first woman he sees in the magical realm.

Pratchett, though, is priceless.

Just started on 'Father, Son and Holy Spirit' by Colin Gunton. Got it yesterday. It was going cheap at my local Christian bookstore for some reason and I always know Gunton gives good value for money - the last book he completed before his untimely death in 2003 for those who care.

I just finished A.D. 1000: Living on the Brink of Apocalypse by Richard Erdoes. This account of 10^th century life revolves around Gerbert de Aurillac (Pope Sylvester II), a rare bright spot in an otherwise dark era. Christendom (moreso the masses than upper leadership) was convinced that Christ would return at midnight on the winter solstice marking the beginning of the year 1000, causing the conversion of the kings (and hence their subjects) of Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Poland, Hungary, and Russia to Christianity. The Russian king Vladimir took a survey of religions before converting. Russia joined the Greek Church rather than the Roman one because the Catholics couched their beliefs in commandments, whereas the Byzantines presented a depiction of the Last Judgement (the beauty of the Byzantine churches visited by his emissaries and his planned wedding to a Greek princess may have had something to do with it as well).

I'm now reading Archeology and the Old Testament by Alfred Hoerth and Sailor on the Sea of Fate by Michael Moorcock.
