The Disappearance by Phillip Wylie. I heard a lot about this book when I was in college, but I never found a copy. Eventually I forgot about it, until recently that is, when I saw a copy in a bookstore. I will be intrigued to see if it lives up to nearly 40 years of expectation.
Jesus and the Disinherited by Howard Thurman. This is my reading for a class later this week.
The Denial of Death by Ernest Becker. I actually read this a few years ago, but felt strongly moved to read it again this December. A lot has changed in my understandings during the intervening years. This second reading is proving quite rewarding.
Creeds, Councils, and Controversies, edited by J. Stevenson. I picked this up during the fall, to look up some original materials referenced in my reading about the history of Christianity for EFM year three. It is not the kind of book I can read straight-through, but I am still finding it yields fascinating perspectives into the development of western European thought.
Stoned by Aja Raden. I've just started this. So far nothing new but the reading is entertaining.
I also finished two books this past weekend, which is good because even for a person who tends to have multiple books going at one time, I was feeling a bit overwhelmed and stressed by the number of books competing for my attention. I haven't quite wrapped my head completely around the second book, though, so you might hear about that later in the week.
