Read Old Books!

Great words from author C.S. Lewis:

“It is a good rule, after reading a new book, never to allow yourself another new one till you have read an old one in between. If that is too much for you, you should at least read one old one to every three new ones.”

To see a more extended treatment of Lewis’ “Introduction” to On the Incarnation by Athanasius, see this article by Matthew Barrett.

Also, if you want an easy, structured guide to get started on one of the most famous and theologically rich “old books” out there, see this post.

Finally, if you really want to be challenged, check out Mark Dever’s “Canon of Theologians.”
