Some light reading

This is cool: Michael Westmoreland-White has a handy short bibliography on the subject of Christianity vs. empire. I've only read a few of these so far (mostly biblical studies stuff), but going deeper into the literature on this subject is high on my list.

    Ever watched the documentary, "Constantine's Sword"? Netflix thinks I'd enjoy it and keeps telling me so. Haven't had the time to check it out yet...

    No, haven't seen it, though I keep carrying the (huge) book with me each time I move, intending to read it at some point.

    That bibliography is a great list! I don't know which one to start with.

    An interesting book about politics and Christianity is "The Anonymous God: The Church Confronts Civil Religion And American Society" from Concordia Publishing.
