Christian reading list 06/24/19 (Mon) 15:03:43 d3feb2 No.6992

In classic imageboard culture, we should make a recommended book list. There's one or two floating around, but it's really just a bunch of titles with no structure.

I think it should be a work of systematic theology, persuading the reader to a position.

This is the best structured such infographic I've found, it should be a model.

Where did you start reading in systematic theology?

Did you get a hermeneutics book first?

Did you read a polemic for the conservative Christian position?

Would a chart have to be evangelical Protestant only and a different one Catholic only, or is there enough overlap in sys theology?

Already have one. Also, are you on /liberty/ much? I just posted your OP image over there earlier today and to see it again is too coincidental.

I took it from your post heehee

I think that Christian chart could be improved, I've seen it before. What is the directive, just having a list of books in a certain theological framework?

Why are Protestant authors in the general Christian category? Why is Augustine Roman/eastern but not Protestant? Luther was augustinian.

What does Shakespeare have to do with this at all?

I actually never looked too closely at the pic, but yeah it can be improved quite a bit. I don't know enough about literature to make it any better though.

There was a second, better version of this with better Protestant books and few more literature ones. I mean, seriously, William Blake, the Gnostic-Mystic Romantic poet, a Protestant? Really? Christian Existentialism? That's not in any classic Protestant repertoire I know of.

>Why are Protestant authors in the general Christian category?

If you mean C.S. Lewis and T.S. Elliot, they were Anglican so basically men who appeal to all three major branches.

>Why is Augustine Roman/eastern but not Protestant?

He should be in Christian General tbh. Like I said, this is the worse version of this chart.

>What does Shakespeare have to do with this at all?

Canonical Shakespeare was likely Catholic. Conspiracies make him Protestant like Francis Bacon or even a Puritan

No direction here, just a bunch of covers.

Also the orthodox study Bible is not a translation

Yes and no. While the New Testament in it is just a copy and paste of the NKJV with Orthodox footnotes, the Old Testament is a new custom translation of the Septuagint. While the OSB OT's overall style is based on the NKJV's flavor, there are enough significant differences in the OSB's translation of the OT and a standard NKJV to render the OSB's Old Testament effectively a new translation (I.e. compare a Psalm from the OSB's OT to the same one in a normal NKJV OT, and there are differences in translation rendering that go far beyond a slightly different numbering scheme.)
