Bringing my oldest son home from the hospital was the beginning of a big lifestyle change for me. I went from teaching History to 10th and 11th graders as well as coaching volleyball to sitting around at home while my baby seemingly slept all the time. After a few weeks I felt like my brain was turning to mush. So, I got on the Internet and downloaded Harvard’s Top 100 Books list as well as the Modern Libraries list and a couple others. I dusted off my library card and got busy. And thus began some of the most depressing reading of my life. After suffering through some of those lists (I’m still working on them) I started thinking about what the best Christian books would be. Unfortunately it’s a little tougher to google a list for that.

So would anyone like to take a stab at it? Instead of the best 100 Christian theology books maybe you could come up with the 10 best Christian theology books. It might give some of us out there that aren’t well read in Christian theology a starting point. And it would be interesting to see where people ranked what books. I know I am way behind on my reading and I’d love to see what other people thought was most important to be reading.
