| Posted 1/4/2002 6:54 PM (GMT -6) |   | Here's a task for of us.
He have our minds working here on this site with our posts but with few material references given. The ones that are given are usually notable and jewels worth pursuing (for at least someone on the board).
Here then is the task:
Make a list of the authors, books and other materials that have influenced you greatly (not just simple reads unless you truely found something very important communicated worth sharing) and post it here.
Make your list of resources identifying the following:
Title
Author
Biblical or secular in nature
Synopsis of the importance of the reference AND if it's intermediate or advanced reading.
Include commentaries, writers, publications, etc., anything that you feel has been a considerable contribution (if only overall) towards your spiritual, philosophical and personal growth. (We're all PRETTY sure that Modes will drop some SK on us, and Semeia? Well, she MAY consider some Bonnhoeffer for us, too! A head start that is for us!)
So...
tell us what you've read!
What Biblical commentaries do you like?
What philosophers do you read?
What philosophical works contributed most to your understanding of life and God?
What Biblical helps do you use (as an example found on this board just recently, Doc just recently mentioned Bob Stein and Gleason Archer for Bible difficulties - great stuff! Thanks!)
Take your time putting your list together. Try to think of those items which are gems and jewels to you, and tell us why so we may better educate ourselves.
I believe this task will greatly contribute toward a more thorough and broader thinking for all of us.
I GREATLY look forward to seeing this vast array of knowledge on this board take shape in the form of materials to read!
For the conversation,
Starkman

| Posted 1/5/2002 11:55 AM (GMT -6) | | Starkman, I think this is a great idea. I often forget to make a record of the different books that people are recommending, and it is frustrating to go back and try to find the post. It would also be interesting to find out what has influenced people the most.
I'll have to come back with my list later, though. I'm still working on my Christmas card list... I'm hoping to get them sent before Valentine's day!
Thanks,
Semeia
