Thinking Seminary (Part III)
Before moving on in this series and in light of the previous posts, I thought it would be beneficial to list 10 books every prospective seminary student should read. Most of these guys are still living, and that was purposeful. I think it is important to read dead guys, obviously, but there is something to be said about the faithful men of today and the writings they put together. This list is by no means exhaustive, but I feel that it does cover many of the essentials (i.e. God, Church, Community, Worship, Discipleship, Evangelism, Marriage, etc…). Happy reading!
