My religious book of the year (regardless of denomination) was Re-Reading Job, same as Brad Kramer. I don’t limit my selections to only Mormon books, not that there’s anything wrong with that. More info on that in the future. (Hi, Julie. Free up some time for me the week of MLK day.)

Yes, Joe’s book was fantastic, and I hope it becomes widely read, discussed, applied, cited, and otherwise engaged!

And inside of Tolkien it’s too dark to read.

It was an outstanding book, tied for me with Adam’s own book (Letters) and Mike Austin’s _Re-reading Job_ for Mormon book of the year.

I did, too, John. It provoked fresh reflection on Romans and the early Christian church, the Book of Mormon and Doctrine and Covenants and their relationship to the Bible and early church, and the meaning of consecration and Zion for Mormons today. To do engage that much material and do it well is quite an accomplishment. Thanks Joe!

I agree with this pick. I actually read this book twice, which is so rare for me that I can’t recall that for any other book outside of Tolkien.
