Some Further Reading

Since I'm on a bit of a hiatus working on my book, I thought I'd at least give a few links to some of the reading I've been doing.  These works will serve to flesh out some of the ideas I've been playing with.

A New Kind of Christian, Brian McLaren

The God We Never Knew, Marcus Borg

The Great Transformation, Karen Armstrong

For linguistics, I refer you to Donald Davidson's work, especially his most recent book of essays.

Truth, Language, and History, Donald Davidson

My Master's work used a lot from one of his other book of essays, especially the essay called Radical Interpretation.

Inquires into Truth and Interpretation, Donald Davidson

For cosmology, assuming you have some undergrad physics, you should investigate Seth Lloyd's ideas of the universe as a quantum computer.

Programming the Universe, Seth Lloyd

I hope these pointers help you as we approach the problem of building a church for the Third Millennium.

Comments

I am glad to see new posts! my theology has changed quite a bit over the years, and I started thinking "if I was kicked out of a church every time my theology changed..."

This site has really helped me come to grips with some of my own wanderings. I may not agree with it all, but then again, I think some of the power of this view is that one doesn't have to.

peace to you
