The introduction by C.S Lewis at the beginning of this book is amazing btw

Gotta do the yearly advent On the Incarnation read through

The tribal revolts against Rome that happened in what is modern day Britain are INSANE stories

The chapters on Octavian and Julius are amazing

The chapters on how baptists came to break away from the first puritans over baptism, them during the Great Awakening, and during the Revolutionary war are all quite interesting and all stuff I didn’t know. Also, it’s hilarious how even during colonial times, the Anglicans had legit no idea what to think of their American Bap. neighbors during the awakening:) Dr Kidd and Hankins do a great job in this book

“In extending citizenship to people who had no direct territorial connections with the city of Rome, they broke the link, which most people in the classical world took for granted, between citizenship and a single city. They made it possible not just to become Roman but also to be a citizen of two places at once ones home town and Rome. This model was extended overseas and eventually underpinned the Roman Empire”

Early Roman warlords are interesting

Romulus is not the founding father you want your child to look up to

Dr Mary Beard is an excellent author. Such a fun and educating book
