Holiday theology reading
Posted on | December 20, 2009 | 2 Comments
As we travel around Chicago and then the Inland Northwest this break, I’ll be dragging along some books I’ve been meaning to read for a while:
- Wayward Christian Soldiers — Charles Marsh
- Secret Faith in the Public Square: An Argument for the Concealment of Christian Identity — Jonathan Malesic
- Political Theology — Michael Kirwan
- A Secular Age — Charles Taylor
- Evangelicals and Empire: Christian Alternatives to the Political Status Quo — edited by Benson and Heltzel
- Whose Justice? Which Rationality? — Alasdair MacIntyre

Davey:
I’ll be interested to hear what you think of Malesic’s book. I’m reading it right now as well. I have gotten up through the Kierkegaard material and am beginning the Bonhoeffer stuff.

Nate,
Glad to hear that you’re reading it as well. I’m only a couple chapters in at this point, but I’m hoping to have it finished sometime between all the holiday gluttony. My initial question on Malesic is whether we’re seeing the development of some sort of “Virginia School” a la the Duke or Yale School of previous decades. Not sure I’d wish that categorical fate on anyone, but I have appreciated a lot of the material that UVA associates (e.g. Marsh and Mathewes) have put out.
