I don't have any of those books, I know Oskar Skarsaune from his book on Jewish Christianity, and it's absolutely excelent, he's a great scholar.
ReplyDeleteI know John Sanders, and I appreciate that whole open theist movement, I havn't read that book though.
There's a lot here I would love to read/know more about.
Yes, Skarsaune has produced an impressive body of work: great scholar and excellent historian of the early church.
ReplyDeleteThe work by Sanders is a classic open theist work, which he later updated: and another important open theist is Clark Pinnock. See his work, The Openness of God. Downers Grove, IL: InterVarsity Press, 1994 and Most Moved Mover: A Theology of God's Openness. Didsbury lectures, 2000. Carlisle UK ; Grand Rapids, MI: Paternoster; Baker Books, 2001.
To the makiing of many book . . . :)
I still love reading, but I pretty much confine my reading these days to stuff I have to read and I only read certain kinds of boooks, for the most part.
I got to read numerous works for decades, and I'm thankful for that time and opportunity. I'm mainly producing these lists now before fall semester begins. It's going to be a stresful year, but if I can give some input on these books, I will.
Apologies for typos.
ReplyDeleteDon't worry about the typos, I'm full of them.
ReplyDeleteThe stuff you have to read, meaning to teach your courses?
Yes, things I read for courses and for the meetings. I still like to research things for the field in addition to personal Bible research.
ReplyDeleteBesides Bible/theological subjects, I've read a few books here lately dealing with the development of "liberal education." One book is entitled Climbing Parnassus. The book is written well, and it gives an excellent history of education in antiquity. However, the author contends that education today needs to be modeled on the classical tradition. Whether one agrees with him or not, I've enjoyed the read so far. I also read In Defense of a Liberal Education by Fareed Zakaria. Of course, these books help me to learn more about teaching in general.
