Lots of folks are posting their top nine or ten books around this time of year, and it’s time for me to join the fray too.
There are lots of biblical and theological and pastoral books I enjoyed this year, but I’m not including them here. That said, I can’t rule out that there’s not some powerful theological reflection in almost all of the works I list below. I’ve compiled just a list of books I enjoyed, for various reasons, none of them explicitly biblical or pastoral.
These will be listed in random order (“random” from the human perspective, I should say, for the hyper-scrupulous theological readers) I read them, not in order of “rank” or importance, with a little explanation of what the book’s about and why I liked it or why it made me think or feel.
I’m going to post one or two a day for the next week or so. Let me know what you think.
