Not a book I would normally have read, by a very clever French thinker and about the early church and the gospel of Luke and a fictionalised account of what his life could have been. I think I got it as it has a nice cover with some wonderful quotes. I did really enjoy it, although I think a lot of the theology and morality passed me by. I continue to be shocked at how different the Jesus of the New Testament is to the Jesus presented to us by the Church, and I don't know which I dislike more - the tetchy, unforgiving, harsh contrarian of the NT, or the perfect, all-loving, all-compassionate kindly Christ presented to us. I'm currently on a Scaled Agile Training course being run remotely and it's difficult to be engaged. It's nice to be training again, but this is not the best way to do it. It's also affecting my running. It's a combination of things, but the clocks going forward, the early start of the course each day and sleeping in a tent mean it's tough to get up and head out running, so I've lost my motivation a little. I'm on the exercise bike instead, but I should be out and about
