I just left a reply to Huw’s Post #3 http://raphael.doxos.com/2008/09/30/roots-post-3/#comment-7778 .
The first time I read this book I was drinking up the beauty of the quotes often with tears streaming down my face. I was hungry for more. This time I find myself reading slowly, savoring Clement’s words as well as those of the Fathers. I am savoring the wisdom of the collation.
I find this is a slow read. I take in some phrase and let it percolate.
I am not sure how much is due to this internal percolating and how much is due to getting ready for my research trip (October 9-24) in Ravenna, but I am not up to speed with the schedule.
I’ll just keep posting.
Blessings.
