But as digital technology reshapes our habits and attention, many believers sense that something essential is being lost.In The Literate Soul, classicist Nadya Williams offers a sweeping historical journey through four thousand years of reading culture--from ancient Mesopotamia and the early church to medieval monasteries and modern libraries. Along the way, she shares· how reading across history has formed Christian minds and communities,· why the love of books deepens our love for Scripture and for God, and· how recovering a culture of reading can strengthen faith today.Perfect for intellectually curious Christians, classical Christian educators, and homeschool communities, The Literate Soul offers a compelling vision of reading as a way to love God with all our mind, as well as our heart, soul, and strength.
