My Dusty Wall
The new policy on debates is that debates will be very rare. I am willing to do a civil discussion, but only when the parties have sufficiently read on the related topic, and this means my own lack of knowledge on a given topic. I find the recommending of books or materials to generally be more beneficial than heated blog debates. Besides that, most of us online "debaters" are amateurs anyway. The below list is in progress, and books with an asterisk are marked as a warning for their non-Christian or dangerous content and should be read with caution, but they are listed so that readers know "where I am," intellectually speaking. All the books listed have been read in their entirety, or significant proportions thereof. This will be much more beneficial for theological dialogues. This is a page in progress...
