Of the books I read in 2018, these are my top four:

• When the Church Was Young: Voices of the Early Fathers (Marcellino D’Ambrosio)

• After You Believe: Why Christian Character Matters (N.T. Wright)

• The Vision of the Anointed: Self-Congratulation as a Basis for Social Policy (Thomas Sowell)

• To Change the Church: Pope Francis and the Future of Catholicism (Ross Douthat)

The earlier version of Esgetology was on a different server. When my blog was repeatedly hacked I switched to Squarespace, which is great. I lost my book history, but am gradually building back up my recommendations on the Books page.
