TOP 5: GOOD THEOLOGY

by Steve

These are the books that have most influenced my thinking and my behavior, and helped me most in my attempt to follow the way of Jesus: 

1.  Rescuing the Bible from Fundamentalism,  John Shelby Spong

2.  The Christian Agnostic, Leslie Weatherhead

3.  Reading the Bible Again for the First Time, Marcus Borg

4.  If Grace Is True,   Philip Gulley and James Mullholland

5.  Jesus,  Uncovering the Life, Teachings, and Relevance of a Religious Revolutionary, Marcus Borg

    Great list! I have never heard of Weatherhead…. I’ll put that one on my list. Just finished number 5. There are so many great books out there and so little time!

    Thanks.

    Had it not been for Weatherhead, I would have joined the “church alumni” association 20 years ago. The Christian Agnostic may not be still in print, but I’m sure you can find a copy on Amazon. Weatherhead was a man way ahead of his time, his heyday being during WWII. Let me know what you think. sk
