Mr. Randall Foster has tagged me to complete a list of my desert-island all-time top-ten works of Christendom.

I'm feelin' kinda basic today:

  1. The Oxford Annotated Bible in the RSV, Second Edition (Because of the Metzger notes).

  2. The Oxford Dictionary of the Christian Church

  3. On the Incarnationl, St. Athanasius

  4. Confessions, St. Augustine of Hippo

  5. The Collected Works of St. Teresa of Avila

  6. The Collected Works of St. John of the Cross

  7. Abandonment to Divine Providence, Jean-Pierre de Caussade

  8. The Sermons of Lancelot Andrewes

  9. The Philokalia

  10. Veritatis Splendor, Pope John Paul II
