Part IV of the "What Are You Reading?" series highlights the summer reading list of Dr. Brent Waters, Jerre and Mary Joy Stead Professor of Christian Social Ethics at Garrett-Evangelical.
The Holy Bible - I feel no need to provide bibliographical information, explain why I’m reading it, or why I recommend it. It should speak for itself.
Oliver O’Donovan,
The Word in Small Boats - A collection of sermons he preached while he was the Cathedral Canon in Oxford. You gain a different appreciation for a theologian when reading sermons rather than more formal discourse. The gospel actually does have something to do with daily, mundane life.
H. D. Forbes,
George Grant: A Guide to His Thought - A nice introduction and overview of one of Canada’s prominent twentieth century political philosophers.
Iris Murdoch,
The Sea, The Sea - Murdoch at her best – a complex plot with intricate characters. No one is particularly good or wicked but human, all too human. The fanciful recipes that are recounted are worth the price of the book, but don’t try to prepare or eat any of them. Won the Booker Prize in 1978.
Anthony Trollope,
The Small House at Allington - Each summer I have been reading one title in the Barsetshire series. This is the fifth of six. I can’t resist country life and ecclesiastical politics in nineteenth century England.
