Depends which part you're in for. The whole thing is very technical but the Homotopy part is pretty straightforward, and Homology too at the beginning. If you're starting at 0 and you can read German, start with Jänich. Not sure if the english translation is good.

I'm better read than you imagine. There's no truth to be found in pagan hymns from a failed and barbarous civilization. All truth is in Christ.

We're a life cult, not a death cult. The dead are to whom I was speaking. Non-Christians who worship death and even advocate for it. Pagans worship with human sacrifice, Muslims raise their children to start war and sacrifice themselves in violent acts of murder, atheists kill their unborn children and plot the mass murder of people all over the world for their fear of over population, Buddhists divorce themselves from the world and become statues, Daoists spend their time breathing on the mountain tops, meanwhile Christians live to tell the Good News of Christ's gift of eternal life, to teach the pure and moral way of God, to encourage men and women to get married and be good spouses and parents, and to do charity for all in need. We are a life cult, and it is life and flourishing Christ brought to the world.
