Resourcefulness
Last night I found this nice website called Religion Online that has a lot of books and articles in full text. You can check out the full index of all resources or the list of the 200 books they have. Here are some sample books:- Thomas J. J. Altizer, The Gospel of Christian Atheism
- Soren Kierkegaard, The Sickness Unto Death
- William James, The Varieties of Religious Experience
- Paul Tillich, The Protestant Era
- Rudolph Bultmann, Jesus and the Word
- Sallie McFague, Speaking in Parables
Still, it's always nice to have online texts available for those times when knowing whether the quote is on the left or right page just isn't enough.
TYPICAL OFF-TOPIC WEEKEND UPDATE: Enrique Dussel's Ethics and Community is excellent. I'm about halfway through it right now, and I already feel like it's my "favorite" book that I've read for the 20th Century exam -- another possibility being Gogarten's Christ the Crisis. I also really enjoyed Marion's God Without Being, but I read it at a very different time in my life and may not enjoy it as much now.
My initial response to concepts is based on aesthetics rather than standards of argumentative rigor, and perhaps I never get away from that. I want to say more about this, but I can't concentrate enough today -- allergies are killing me.
