A few good reads for your weekend—or maybe your month.
Bible Study
What Does Hebrews 3:1-6 Mean?
I’m still slowing working through the book of Hebrews, so I enjoy seeing other people work through it, too. In this piece, Mike Leake explains Hebrews 3:1-6. (I posted two pieces on this passage a couple of years ago: Well Done, Good and Faithful Servant and Well Pleased, Beloved Son.)
History
A Woman for All Seasons
An essay on Sophie Scholl by Esther O’Reilly, who is always worth reading.
Fiction
Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte
I stayed up late too many nights this week finishing up the classic novel Jane Eyre. The story was just as compelling this time as it was when I read it as a teen. But this time, I think, I noticed the humour more.
I enjoyed Jane Eyre much more than Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte, which I reread last month. Let’s just say Wuthering Heights didn’t get any less weird with the passage of time.
The link above it to the Folio Society edition, which is the one I read. It’s expensive, but it looks and feels like a classic book should.
Next on my reading list is The Tenant of Wildfell Hall by Anne Bronte. I’m making it a Bronte sisters summer.
