I finally have time to start reading blogs again! The Scot Mcknight books are allways very good. The Karl Barth stuff is good too, but you really need to clear out your schedule if you want to read that. Reading through Mcknight's Jesus Creed two years ago with you and Brad was a real formative experience, Mcknight always faithfully works off of some of the most fundamental themes in the bible. In Jesus Creed he writes the whole book on the Greatest Commandment, and then Embracing Grace deals with the idea of God being relational and our need to be relational with God and others. These really challenged me to live out the Christian life and I think McKnight also did a good job with working beyond the liberal/conservative labels and language that can really be devisive and loaded. I have yet to read Newbigin, but I'm sure I will get to it someday, my girlfriend has plenty of his books. Todd, thanks for sharing these suggestions.
