2008 Reading List
Tags: Books - Posted by Bryce on January 7th, 2008
Here are several books I want to read this year. Invariably I will not get to all of them, and will read many that are not on the list. I’m keeping a list of books I read throughout the year, and thought it would be interesting to make a companion list of books I want to read, and compare them at the end. So, books I want to read in 2008…
- Lesslie Newbigin, The Gospel in a Pluralist Society. It’s kind of cheating to put this on the list, since I’m about 4 chapters away from finishing, but I’ve wanted to read this for years, and have thoroughly enjoyed it thus far.
- John Piper, Desiring God. I’ve had this on my shelf for years. I have a feeling I won’t love it the way many do, but I have been pondering the concept of “Christian hedonism” for a while, and am curious to see what Piper says.
- Tim Keller, The Reason for God: Belief in an Age of Skepticism. No explanation necessary.
- Abraham Kuyper, Lectures on Calvinism. Again, this is cheating, because I’m reading this with a friend with whom I have breakfast every week. But this is another that has been on my reading list for a long time, so I’m eager to get to it.
- Cornelius Plantinga, Not the Way It’s Supposed to Be. I read this a couple of years ago and have wanted to reread it since.
- David Bosch, Transforming Mission. Another that has been working its way to the top of the list for a while.
- N.T. Wright, The New Testament and the People of God. I own the first 3 volumes in Wright’s Christian Origins series, and have not read more than the introduction of any of them. They are massive! So I figure getting through volume 1 would be a good goal for the year.
Well, I’ll leave it at that. I’m sure I’m leaving something out that I’ll want to add later.
