A core historical text for me personally. It’s super dense and sometimes repetitive, but the ideas are deep enough to hold your attention. I really enjoyed how it emphasizes ethical living, reason, and the unity and goodness of God rather than confession or blind belief. It gives insight into a branch of early Christianity that seems closer to the Jewish roots of the Jesus movement. Reading it feels like discovering a version of early Christian thought that isn’t the dominant one we see today. Kinda hard to read, but very cool if you’re interested in the history behind the tradition.
