Thanks, Ben. I'm excited to give it a read, yet; and more so given both yours and Myk's endorsement :-). Happy New Year!

You'll never regret it, Carl. And if you like it, make sure you get your hands on their first album — it's a tour de force.

Yeah, it felt a bit rushed (compared to his great book on Nicaea), and I wished it had gone a bit further — e.g. there's nothing on Book 15 of De Trin. But for all that, I'd still say it's one of the year's most important theology books.

Thanks for this list. The item that most flagged my attention for immediate purchase was the new Fleet Foxes. I am only vaguely familiar with them, but your enthusiasm combined with the description of the new album piqued my interest -- combined with the fact that I have time to listen to the album on my drive home from the holidays. The deal was sealed when I saw that Amazon has the mp3 album for $5: http://amzn.to/rxLymw. Looking forward to listening!
