Yes, I'm still doing a deep dive into the writings of the Christian Church Fathers, this time through buying/reading several volumes of the Popular Patristics Series. As is the norm for series, I will list in italics books owned but not yet read and bold the ones that I've read. I'm cautiously optimistic that I will have time later this summer to write essays on at least a few of these, perhaps on a different blog than this venerable one.
Total through 5/12/2024: 32 books owned.
