What Are You Reading These Days?
What are you reading these days?
I’m always curious about what people are reading—or what they want to read.
For those of you who possess a similar curiosity, here is a portion of my intended reading list for the summer months:
-“Hannah’s Child: A Theological Memoir” (by Stanley Hauerwas)
-“Christ the Key” (by Kathryn Tanner)
-“Countdown to Sunday: A Daily Guide for Those Who Dare to Preach” (by Chris Erdman)
-“Just War as Christian Discipleship: Recentering the Tradition in the Church Rather than the State” (by Daniel Bell)
-“Against the Tide: Love in a Time of Petty Dreams and Persisting Enmities” (by Miroslav Volf)
-“Journey to the Common Good” (by Walter Brueggemann)
-“Unfettered Hope: A Call to Faithful Living in an Affluent Society” (by Marva Dawn)
I also have Justin Cronin’s “The Passage” on my list—an apocalyptic horror epic that I’m hoping will scare the sandals right off of my feet during my vacation at the end of July.
