There were a few sections which were a little dry and academic (which caused my progress to stall at the end of last year), but this doesn&#8217;t detract from the fact that this is a brilliant book. It&#8217;s full of \u00a0Patristic references and\u00a0insightful commentary on the Gospels.

Tim Berners-Lee is the creator of the World Wide Web and a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ecs.soton.ac.uk\/people\/timbl\" target=\"_blank\">professor at my alma mater<\/a>. In his book he chronicles the development of the primitive web and the various hurdles which had to be overcame in the early years.
