Who Wrote the New Testament?: The Making of the Christian Myth, by Burton L. Mack. I've just started this book (I'm about 33 pages in). As one might expect from the sub-title, this book tends towards more non-traditional views, such as dating certain New Testament works into the 2nd century. It was because I began reading this book that I started the thread about dating NT books, as I was curious as to what people here thought. The basic premise of the book seems to be that many of the books of the New Testament were a part of disparite traditions, and that these books were only later harmonized with each other so as to make them seem like they were all saying the same thing.
The Existence of God: From Plato to A.J. Ayer On the Question "Does God Exist?", ed. by John Hick. I read some of this book before, but lost interest in it, so now I'm going to try and start from the beginning and read it again. It's been a few years since I actually read arguments for and against God, so I figured it was time for a refresher, even if this book is a bit old (1964)and some of the argumentation will have changed since it was written.
The Desert A City, by Derwas J. Chitty. I read this back when I first became interested in Orthodoxy about about 8 1/2 years ago, and I think I was still a catechumen at the time. I remember really enjoying the book, so I bought it last Christmas, but I never got around to reading it until now. The book is about Christian monasticism in the 4th-7th centuries.

I read Crime and Punishment two summers ago and really liked it. When I later read Notes from the Underground, I did not enjoy reading it, although I attempted to see its literary value. The first chapter or two of The Brothers Karamazov was a bit difficult to get through (all the names and inter-relations), but since mapping the characters out, the past few chapters have been good. I still have 640 pages to go. |

I just finished White Corridor by Christopher Fowler. If you like odd mystery/detective stories, the author's "Peculiar Crimes Unit Mystery" series are for you. I'm about 1/4 of the way into The Hangman's Hymn by P.C. Doherty, which is part of the author's "Canterbury Mysteries," telling the stories that Chaucer didn't collect in the latter's magnum opus. |

Critique of Religion and Philosophy, by Walter Kaufmann. I'm only about 20 pages into this one, though I have leafed through the rest of the book to see what I was getting into. The book seems to be a hodge-podge of reflections by Kaufmann on all things religious. I wasn't really eager to start this one, but it's been sitting on my bookshelf for a couple years, and I figured I might as well give it a shot.
The Six Ways of Atheism: New Logical Disproofs of the Existence of God, by Geoffrey Berg. Got this one from the local public library. This book seems to be about the main evidences that atheists put forth to disprove the existence of God, only (so far as I can tell) Berg constructs the arguments in less philosophical language, so that the book is a bit more accessible than such books usually are.
Western Atheism: A Short History, by James Thrower. Also got this one from the library, and it's the second time I've read it. I needed it again to get some leads on who to look to as far as early agnosticism, particular in ancient Greece. It's a fun, short read, though it gets a tad boring in the middle ages when the author is talking about pantheists and such.
The Varieites of Scientific Experience: A Personal view of the Search for God, by Carl Sagan. Just started this one, and have only read the editor's introduction. Seems like it'll be a good one, though.

I just recently started a book titled Deism: A Revolution in Religion, A Revolution in You by Bob Johnson, and it's a hoot. It starts with the sensationalistic line: "The power of Deism can be yours!" And the fun doesn't end there. Apparently this "revolutionary" view of God can solve many of our individual and societal problems. Funny thing, though, rather than using the 100 pages in the book to build a case for Deism and it's potential benefits, the author instead spends the majority of the book attacking "revealed religions" and neocons. And he keeps putting words like revealed in quotes for no apparent reason. For example, here is a statement from page 63: One way Deism can neutralize the deadly power that the "revealed" religions hold is to educate the world about the Bible's ungodly origins. Btw, if you're wondering, the Bible has "ungodly origins" because, according to the author, the Emperor Constantine decided what the canon of the New Testament should be. |

The Great Work, by Thomas Berry. The future can exist only if humans understand how to commune with the natural world rather than exploit it, explains author and renowned ecologist Thomas Berry (The Dream of the Earth, The Universe Story). "Already the planet is so damaged and the future is so challenged by its rising human population that the terms of survival will be severe beyond anything we have known in the past."
This may make him sound like a scolding, doomsday prophet, but Berry is an optimistic soul, hopeful that humans will rise to the challenge of cherishing the natural world in the third millennium. "Our future destiny rests even more decisively on our capacity for intimacy in our human-Earth relations." Berry predicts. From this premise, Berry reveals why we need to adore our blessed planet, while also examining why we are culturally driven toward exploiting nature. Because Berry has a science background as well as a spiritual orientation (he is the founder of the History of Religions Program at Fordham University), he brings a balanced and fresh voice to social ecology. Even though he writes for the masses, Berry is by no means a lightweight--chapters include "Ecological Geography," "The Extractive Economy," "The Corporation Story," and "Reinventing the Human."

Even though it's the end of the semester and a crazy time, I started to read John Fowles's "The French Lieutenant's Woman" (1968). It is not easy for me to read it because the language is deliberately complicated, extremely rich. The author tries to re-create the atmosphere of provincial Victorian England - the action takes place in a town called Lyme Bay, located on the English Channel shore, in 1867. Very interesting, fascinating, albeit challenging read. A deep mystery, and a very intriguing take of the author, who is bone of bones and flesh of the flesh of the Hippie era, on the intricacies of the Victorian mind and of the Victorian era.

The Life of Alfred the Great
The Life of Christ by Fulton Sheen
The Soul After Death Seraphim Rose
I read a little of each in the tub and before bed.
How is the Fulton Sheen book? I toy with the idea of reading if from time to time. Its really good its fairly deep but not as deep as Jesus of Nazareth by the Pope. |
