Ep 171: Six Essential Books of 2024

In my third-annual ‘six books’ Christmas special, I present the six books that had a major impact on my thinking that were published in 2024. I have read a lot of great literature this year and it was very difficult to condense my list to only six. Here are the 2024 essential books finalists:

Trump’s War on Capitalism, David Stockman

National Divorce, Jason Fry

Paul and Imperial Divine Honors, Clint Burnett

Christmaker, James McGrath

Jesus and His Promised Second Coming, Tucker Ferda

The Next Quest for the Historical Jesus, James Crossley and Chris Keith

I have interviews with five of the six authors, and the first book, Trump’s War on Capitalism, I covered extensively in an episode I recorded on Trump. Links to all the books and the interviews below. Enjoy!
