Patrik tagged me with an impossible meme: “Name three (or more) theological works from the last 25 years (1981-2006) that you consider important and worthy to be included on a list of the most important works of theology of that last 25 years (in no particular order).”

It’s impossible because you would have to be installed as a polymath to try and do it justice (maybe we should ask our front bench of bishops? I’m sure Tom and Rowan could do the question justice).

This is my attempt at an answer:

1. The Darkness of God, Denys Turner
2. At the Origins of Modern Atheism, Michael Buckley
3. Theology and Social Theory, John Milbank

The list reflects my own interests: mysticism and philosophy of religion.
