Thomas Cranmer by Diamond MacCulloch
Started this book already on the first Protestant Archbishop of Cantebury. Cranmer and Edward VI brought real reform to the Church of England resulting in the 39 Articles and a Reformed Church before the aftermath moved the church closer to a via media (middle way) position during the reign of Elizabeth I. I’m interested to see the development of this man that eventually gave his life on the stake for his devotion to the gospel in England.
Marriage in the Early Church ed by David Hunter
For a group from PCPC that will be going through it this Summer. This book is a collection of texts from Early Church Leaders on the subject of marriage
Van Til’s Apologetic by Greg Bahnsen
Under more of a conviction that sin has had major impact on our minds, I need to look more at Van Til’s approach to apologetics. I am a child of Thomas Aquinas and so why people do not merely agree with good reason puzzles me - and in fact why I often do not agree with good reason proves that reason may not be enough. Hence Van Til.
A Reformed Spirituality?
I am looking into teaching another course on the concept of a “reformed spirituality.” This is an oxymoron to some, but I hope to do enough reading and experimenting to have material to present a Biblical approach to spirituality in Spring of 09. Towards that end on my reading list is:
A Quest for Godliness: The Puritan Vision of the Christian Life
Christian Spirituality by Alister McGrath
The Life of God in the Soul of Man by Henry Scougal
The Religious Affections by Jonathan Edwards
The Christian Life by Sinclair Ferguson
Worldly Saints: The Puritans as They Really Were. By Leland Ryken
Puritan Reformed Spirituality by Joel Beeke
Luther’s Spirituality
Streams of Living Water by Richard Foster
The Mystical Presence by Nevin
I also have this itch to go through Calvin’s Institutes from start to finish. I may need a group to help me though…

Must be nice to be able to have a summer reading list! Nothing but the Hebrew text and required reading for me. As soon as Aug. 9th comes though I'll be making my own reading list.
