Best Contemporary Theology meme
January 16, 2007
Bob Carlton tagged me on this Contemporary Theology meme project. The idea is to list the best “theology” books written in the last 25 years (i.e. since 1981). Here are Ike and my lists:
Isaac’s List
- Liberating Rites by Tom Driver
- Irresistable Revolution by Shane Claiborne
- Sexism and God-Talk by Rosemary Radford Reuther
In terms of “things that might be less recognizable as theology,: Ike says:
- Deeply into the Bone by Ron Grimes
- The Salmon of Doubt: Hitchhiking the Galaxy One Last Time by Douglas Adams
- The Concubine by Elechi Amadi
Bowie’s List (caveat: I never did like systematic theology all that much, but here are three books that I’d include)
- Liberating Rites by Tom Driver
- Small Pieces Loosely Joined: A Unified Theory of the Web by David Weinberger
- The Wedding Dress by Fanny Howe
My three brothers would probably insist that the Ishmael series by Daniel Quinn be included on such a list (in a heartbeat)… so I gotta give them a nod too.
Hey, yo, Transmissioners – what would you list?
