Of course, none of this includes the volumes of Barth and Bonhoeffer which I continually am wading through, but it gives a brief look at my reading schedule for the next few months. I am thoroughly excited about reading these volumes and all the treasurers to be uncovered in the intensive study of Scripture and theology.
My reading queue is as long, but I don't have a time-limit. Some of those look really good.
ReplyDeleteI have been very choosy in these especially knowing I only can afford so many books and only have so much time to read them and make notes. If you have any recommendations on these topics/books send them my way... :-)
DeleteThe Borg/Wright book is a good one! (In fact, that may have been the first Wright I ever read.)
ReplyDeleteSo far I've been really enjoying the book by Borg/Wright. It is refreshing to read such a book that can be written irenically despite the tremendous differences on understanding Jesus and the Gospel accounts.
DeleteI haven't looked - but does the Prov Library have everything you're planning to reference in your teaching? Have you let your faithful librarian know titles you want added to the collection? :) Terry
ReplyDeleteNot sure yet. I'd have to do some checking since I'm using books that I own at this point (though I'm also using journal articles that are accessible at Prov) Terry. I'll have to get you some books to add to the collection as well...such as ALL of the Dietrich Bonhoeffer Works (once the final volume is published...I'll have the complete set and that would be great if Prov could as well ;-) ).
DeleteAnd Prov has the ABSOLUTE BEST librarian anywhere around. ;-)
