Who I’d read if I had 2 years to devote to it

March 15, 2008 // No Comments »

I was thinking today, as I sat down to do some book summary papers for my next class in the doctoral program, about all the books that are piling up that I want to read but are not on the list for my upcoming classes. There are a lot of onesy books that are building up - but also, there are authors that I really want to dive deep into.

I’d love to read the entire catalog of works by these authors:

Thomas Merton
N. T. Wright
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Elizabeth O’Connor (I’ve read all but, I think, 2 of her books, but need to re-read them all)
Kathleen Norris

Seems to me that I’m missing somebody. But it’s not coming to me right now. I used to want to read all of Eugene Peterson’s stuff, but I find it hard to finish his books these days.

Who would you like to read everything by?

Glad You're Here

Welcome to In the Coracle, Pat Loughery's blog. Make yourself at home, and do join in the conversation by commenting on what you find here.

I blog a lot these days about spirituality and spiritual formation, and I have a particular interest in learning from the early Christian church's approach to spirituality and mission.

I'm a student at Bakke Graduate University, studying for a Doctor of Ministry in Transformational Leadership for the Global City. Here's my working thesis:

I am studying Celtic, Benedictine and Orthodox monasticism because I want to discover what frameworks these spiritualities provide so that my reader may understand how spiritual formation serves God’s mission.
