I'm making good progress in Richards, so I've started to also read Stanley Stowers' A Rereading of Romans: Justice, Jews, and Gentiles.
"If God has given [his people] such joy now, joy in their faith, in their hope, in love, in the truth of his scriptures, what kind of joy is he preparing for them at the end? If he feeds them like this on the journey, how will he feast them in their homeland?"--Augustine of Hippo
"It cannot be that the people should grow in grace unless they give themselves to reading. A reading people will always be a knowing people."--John Wesley
"Wherever men are still theological there is still some chance of their being logical."--G. K. Chesterton

I think that book beat up my YECism. Originally posted by One Bad Pig
Necessity's Mother is one of the best chapters I've read on selection. I've reread it probably a dozen times.

I am reading Blue like Jazz and am quite liking it so far. It has a very unusual smokey feel for a Christian book, but it is very real and honest.

wow good choice, but heavy reading. I bet you are sleeping well..... Originally posted by The Phoenix Hunter
Finished reading Plato's The Republic, which is going on my "to Buy" list. Now I'm reading some Augustine.
I'm Currently reading The City of God at school, and The Confessions at home.
[ETA: Some Teachers, Fellow Students, etc. are kind of surprised that I'm reading said literature... What gives?!

"The Singularity is Near" by Ray Kurzweil - if this is carnal prophesy, it should get real exciting soon.
"The Psalms" - as a Devotional by the Holy Spirit. Ageless and applicable daily.
"Pagan Christianity" by Viola and Barna. How to help Him build a Spirit sustained Body of Christ by learning from past mistakes. These fellows have been awarded honor doctorates in Forensic Theology from my alma mater.
"The Fortunes of War" by Patrick O'Brian. Ignoring the nautical cursing, probably the cleverest fictional literature of the last 50 years.
"The New World Religion" by Gary H. Kah. A fresh view of an immediate problem. Detestable political machinations, which if true, hasten the end times. "Even so, Come Lord Jesus.""Most assuredly, I say to you, he who hears My word and believes in Him who sent Me has everlasting life, and shall not come into judgment, but has passed from death into life. John 5:24 NKJV
∴ Eternal life begins at Salvation !

As an aging semi scientist it is 2/3's over my head, but promisingly entertaining. Sorta like the Book of Revelations - it will be cool to recognize events when they occur. Originally posted by Philosophickus Rex

Bought three more books. What Are the Gospels? by Richard Burridge, The Canon of Scripture by FF Bruce, and The Climax of the Covenant by NT Wright.

I ordered The New Mormon Challenge by Beckwith et. al. and By His Own Hand upon Papyrus by Charles Larson.
I can't wait.
...the compass of existence held more than my text-books had revealed, more than I had ever dreamed of. In short I lost my superiority, and this, though I was not then aware of it, is the first step towards finding God.-A.J. Cronin
