My reading has been wide and wild, according to my cradle religion, and the local church. (Links embedded)
Right now I'm enjoying
"Original Blessing" by Matthew Fox.
Zeek and I are reading it, and talking on cell phones about it. We both find original blessing (as opposed to original sin) a breath of fresh air - and a great way of seeing things. God started with original blessing, not original sin. And there's still plenty of His original blessing to go around.
Eusebius Church History - He's really something else. But it provides a window into how they thought in the 4th c.
The Story of B by Danial Quinn
I also like:
Professor Bart Erhman : on the Greek manuscripts and early Christianity.
And Bishop John Shelby Spong - a non-theist Christian ... and of the
->Jesus Seminar<-. And I've been known to get Funky, as in Robert Funk, who founded the Jesus Seminar.
But I don't fully agree with any of them.
After the local church can we really hook up to any man?
