20 Books

Well, it’s always fun to talk about books. Ben (of www.faith-theology.blogspot.com) posted a list of 20 books that have influenced him theologically and so I (like several others) thought I would do the same. Unlike Ben, I can’t limit myself to books that are strictly theological; however, I do retain his rule that each author can only be used once.
