September's "Help Backwoods Decide What to Read"

Allright... Been a while since we had one of these and I just finished Vol. 3 of A' Brakel's "The Christian's Reasonable Service" and need help knowing where to go next.

Thanks again for all your help.

The man's a readin' fool! [said with all proper admiration]

After a'Brakel, I voted for a little light reading break--Machen.

I haven't read Mr. Edward's work on the Will yet, although I think it would be extremely useful in understanding his frame of reference ...

The Freedom of the Will is a classic. If you haven't read it, do so. If you HAVE read it previously, then go with Turretin.

I voted Paradise Lost because I don't recollect you reading any fiction in the last polls. Really I vote C.S. Lewis's Till We Have Faces. I would love to hear what you thought of it!

Forgive me for breaking from your list... but how about someone who is NOT Reformed but is nevertheless an expert in his/her field or a significant figure for understanding the state of Christianity today. For example, Carl Henry, Charles Finney, Friederich Schleiermacher, Karl Barth, Charles Ryrie, Bruce Metzger, Augustus Strong, Gleason Archer, D.A. Carson, N.T. Wright (ok, I find him pretty Reformed), Walter Kaiser, Darrell Bock, etc.

I also voted for Paradise Lost by Milton.

Or you could just read the Bible from cover to cover, and take a break from reading theological works for a month.

What's the most important book you'll ever have to read?

And what's the one book that will help you in reading it?

Goldsworthy!
