LOGO Patheos Explore the world's faith through different perspectives on religion and spirituality! Patheos has the views of the prevalent religions and spiritualities of the world.

Got two books in the mail, today:

The Lion’s Gate, by Steven Pressfield
Scholastic Metaphysics: A Contemporary Introduction, by Ed Feser

I’ve read three of Pressfield’s historical novels; this new book is a look at the Six Day War drawn from mostly from around four hundred hours of personal interviews conducted by Pressfield with people who were involved. It sounds fascinating.

And Ed Feser is increasingly well-known in philosophoblogging circles. He’s a scholastic philosopher, following in the footsteps of Thomas Aquinas, and if I have anything cogent to say on the topic of Thomist philosophy he should get a share of the credit. I’ve read a number of his books, and I’ve been looking forward to reading this one for months.

I expect that I’ll have more to say about both in the near future.
