On the Incarnation
AuthorAthanasius of Alexandria
ISBN0913836400

I was pleased to find On the Incarnation remarkably fresh and engaging, still fierce and still passionate too. Such is rarely the case with works of theology, particularly when orthodoxy has robbed them even of the novelty of heresy, for dry-as-dust disquisitions on settled questions often summon...
The Holiness of God
AuthorR.C. Sproul
ISBN0842339655
Central to God's character is the quality of holiness. Yet, even so, most people are hard-pressed to define what God's holiness precisely is. Many preachers today avoid the topic altogether because people today don't quite know what to do with words like "awe" or "fear." R. C. Sproul, in this classic...
Introduction to the Devout Life
AuthorFrancis de Sales
ISBN0375725628
This book was written for people with desire to be closer to God, a desire DeSales found on all levels of society, and the reason he wrote this book. It's aimed at laypeople, to show how devout life is possible no matter what one does in life, that devout life is not just for the clergy or monastic life. It's...
The Rule of Saint Benedict
AuthorBenedict of Nursia
Composed nearly fifteen hundred years ago by the father of Western monasticism, The Rule of St. Benedict has for centuries been the guide of religious communities. St. Benedict's rules of obedience, humility, and contemplation are not only prerequisites for formal religious societies, they also...
The Mystical Theology of the Eastern Church
AuthorVladimir Lossky
ISBN0913836311
This is a book that changed my life and made me want to be a Christian after years of immersing myself in other 'Eastern' Religions. This review should be seen in that light and in this respect is deeply personal.

Lossky's Mystical Theology spoke to me but before it did, I got to know Lossky through...
Cur Deus Homo
AuthorAnselm of Canterbury
ISBN1411646436
A thought provoking book on the deepest questions which have plagued mankind for time and eternity. Is there a God? Why did he have to die? How are we restored by his death?

Phaedo
AuthorPlato

The Phaedo is acknowledged to be one of Plato's masterpieces, showing him both as a philosopher and as a dramatist at the height of his powers.

After Virtue: A Study in Moral Theory
AuthorAlasdair MacIntyre
ISBN0268006113
When After Virtue first appeared in 1981, it was recognized as a significant and potentially controversial critique of contemporary moral philosophy. Newsweek called it “a stunning new study of ethics by one of the foremost moral philosophers in the English-speaking world.” Since that time,...

For the Life of the World: Sacraments and Orthodoxy
AuthorAlexander Schmemann
ISBN0913836087
This is the best book on worldview I have ever read. Hands down. I come from a protestant background but most protestants argue for worldview in gnostic categories. Even the most creational of them merely reduce the Christian faith to the intellectual. This is the oldest heresy the church faced: gnosticism....
