I get to read and discuss these books with high school students. None of these are required books for classes I was teaching; instead, some students simply wanted to think more deeply.

[Mark VanderWerf @mark_vanderwerf]

A pretty accurate(?) description of theological tribes by Gordon Spykman ca. 1983.
