What's a good book on iconoclasm? Also general /Christian/ books thread. Both fiction and nonfiction welcome.

I don't know about iconoclasm but I've been reading a ton of Hopkins lately. I've become convinced that The Wreck of the Deutschland is his best work, although one should probably read it after reading his sonnets. I bought a book on the life of Blessed Gennaro Sarnelli but I haven't read much of it yet. I'd be happy to talk about any books you've been reading lately.

>>940 A lot currently but mostly nonfiction. Some moral philosophy and a lot of history. Ask away.

>>949 What histories specifically?

>>959 Peter Brown's "Cult Of The Saints" about the function of sainthood in the early church. Its not a bad book so far but places too much emphasis on female saints than male saints, typical of the time it was published in the early 80s, around the time I was born. Also listening to audio books of Benedict Anderson's "Imagined Communities" and Edward Luttwak's "Grand Strategy Of The Roman Empire".

>>959 The other two books I'm reading are more philosophy than history though

was thinking of doing a "meta-reading" of this as someone who leans right and is in the middle of the populist-elitist axis to understand what the left thinks of us in terms of political knowledge acquisition.

>>856 (OP) If you're interested in primary sources, check out Claudius of Turin's work in translation.
