Summer Reading
Matt, Andrew, and Alastair take up the question of why we read what we read — prompted by Andrew's preference for biblical theology over systematics.
What makes good summer reading? If anyone would know, it’s the Mere Fi bookworms. This isn’t a book recommendation episode. Matt, Andrew, and Alastair ask the questions to figure out what actually drives each of them to read the books they do, and why they are so different.
