How is that purple book on epistemology? I picked up a cheap copy somewhere (forgot where), but haven’t cracked it open yet.

Sorry I'm just now replying--it's kind of a strange book. It's not bad. He studied under Plantinga, which is good, and he emphasizes our epistemic duties, which is good; but he has a unique approach, and a unique set of technical terms, which I don't care for (especially in an introductory text like this). It's not so much that I don't care for his terminology in particular--it's that, in general, I don't like scholars reinventing the wheel by coming up with their own set of terms.

Here's Wolterstorff's review from the back. He likes what I don't like about it.

Seldom does an introduction to a field display much creativity. What's most remarkable about Professor Wood's Epistemology is not that his discussion is lucid, accurate, probing, and informed--though it is all of those--but that he has found a fresh angle from which to approach the subject. Epistemology, so he argues, treats of becoming intellectually virtuous. The book eminently displays the virtues it recommends!​

Due to its importance in history, I have for years seen references to Jonathan Edward's A Faithful Narrative of the Surprising Work of God but this is the first I've read the work itself.

I am almost through Theodore Beza’s polemic A Clear and Simple Treatise on the Lords Supper. Absolutely devoured this book, it’s excellent.

Once I am done with that I am starting with Volume 7 of the Works of William Perkins.

Current books over time are a commentary on Hebrews by William Gouge and sermons on Revelation by George Gifford.

I am glad to hear that, brother. I will pass that along to Dr. Noe. He will appreciate hearing that.

I am currently reading:

• Joshua - Holy Spirit
• The Westminster Confession of Faith: Edinburgh Edition - Westminster Divines
  
• Kingdom Come: The Amillennial Alternative - Sam Storms
• An Introduction to Systematic Theology: Prolegomena and the Doctrines of Revelation, Scripture, and God - Cornelius Van Til

I also consult the ESV Study Bible and Reformation Study Bible notes during my Bible readings as well as commentaries, including those of Calvin, Henry, and others via Logos and various web resources. I find the Christian Classics Ethereal Library to be invaluable for referencing older works in the public domain.

"Tabletalk" magazine (from Ligonier) starts covering the Book of Hebrews in its April issue, FYI.
