“Be careful not to read the books of heretics.”

Nicodemus The Athonite writes, “Be careful not to read the books of heretics. Avoid the books of atheists like fire. Do not even accept to take them into your hands. I suggest that you do not even read those apologetic books against the atheists, for they can be harmful to the weak, if not also the strong in faith”.
