The Battle for God, Karen Armstrong
Good introduction, surprisingly sharp for her.<\/p>\n
Fundamentalism, James Barr
Escaping from Fundamentalism, James Barr
The Scope and Authority of the Bible, James Barr
James Barr is the doyen of fundamentalism studies. I didn’t re-read his magnum opus for these talks, but I remember its quality from when I read it at Uni. I need to get my own copy.<\/p>\n
What the Bible Really Teaches, Keith Ward
Commendably clear and thorough.<\/p>\n
A Passion for Truth, Alister E McGrath
Intellectually a bit weak – McGrath is more of an historian than a systematician – but good for distinguishing the evangelical position.<\/p>\n
Fundamentalism and American Culture, George M Marsden
Classic text (which I haven’t quite finished)<\/p>\n
American Theocracy, Kevin Phillips
Haven’t started yet, but looks good, especially as it links in Peak Oil to the conversation.<\/p>\n
Of course, I’ve also read the first three ‘Left Behind’ books. Slacktivist<\/a> says all that is needed about them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Battle for God, Karen ArmstrongGood introduction, surprisingly sharp for her.
