zippy: Thanks for the recommends; I will pick them up.
As to Catholicism, have you read West’s “Theology of the Body Explained” or Kreeft’s “Catholic Christianity”? Both are excellent, and West’s book did an excellent job of reconciling the changes under Pope John Paul II with Vat2 and pre-Vat2 theology.
Keep your eyes peeled, this place is crawling with evangelicals!
Went onto Amazon and got them both. Interesting backgrounds on both authors, especially Crean’s being a Dominican. I was taught predominantly by Jesuits (I had both Jesuits and Franciscans in high school), but I like the Dominicans and Benedictines when it comes to theology and philosophy. Not as simplistic as the Franciscans and nowhere near as draconian as the Jesuits.
