I'd recommend you read a philosophy of religion textbook rather than pop-apologetics.
Try An Introduction to the Philosophy of Religion by Brian Davies.

Are Lee Strobels books any good?

I was saying you should AVOID popular apologetics.

Supposing you have billions of american dollars at your disposition (or whatever symbolic value able to represent "infinite money"), and you also have all the free time in the world in your hands. You have decided to go into a journey/travel or series of experiences which you are going to register into the form of a non-fiction book (maybe series of books) written in whatever format you wish to favor (letters, reports, essays, accountings).
Where are young going and what are you doing there?
In what format are you going to register it?
Include as many details and be as weirdly specific as you want to.
I particularly would write a series of letters to family and friends detailing my lone travels visiting the churches and catholic temples where you can find the remains of all the apostles of Jesus Christ (except, obviously, for Judas Iscariot), in Italy, Germany, Turkey and Vatican City, while spilling my own deist theological philosophies and comparing them to the beliefs of each apostle and a variety of other Christian/Catholic thinkers such as Augustine of Hippo and Thomas Aquinas.

I'd go to 7-11 and buy as many 4 locos as I can carry, then send my friend a Snapchat of the pile captioned "turn UP".

What's the consensus on Jane Eyre, I'm writing a paper on her independence as a free spirited woman assigned by my feminist professor. Not too thrilled.

I actually had to study the noel last semester i one of my classes, which sucked since I really dislike this novel.
It's okay, though (after my third forced re-read). It should be pretty easy writing about her independence all things considered.

She was so free spirited she cuck'd herself, in the middle of her physical prime, into caring for an old blind man. Also, she was supposed to be ugly why is she hot in that movie poster.

It's a difficult book even for a native speaker.
You know how well you can read English, it's your call.
>>
>>9175470
If German, read the translation. I say this because, like as with Shakespeare, German scholarship on Joyce exceeds that in English.
>>
You can read the translation and then the original

>tfw translating literature for fun and because I though it would a great excercise to improve my writing levels
>tfw I never expected it to be like making a cover of a better musician
Holy shit, translating literature gives you a really deeper understanding, like much deeper shit than simply reading.
I was literally mindblowed by how diferent is to translate a piece than simply reading, like the diference between being a nu male no musician listening some music and trying to cover that song, not even comparable, and certainly a much deeper and richer experience.
Also, I was forced to think about every word and forced to search for those words I didn't knew in english, some words I didn't even knew in my native, taco speak, the language of the aztecs cochroaches.
I feel I've improved and feel like, if you allow me, doing a workout routine, it feels so good.
Wow, it was a new experience and I feel stronger because of it.
No contest, translating is the way to go, there's not even comparison between simple reading and translating a piece.
