A “Must-Read” Booklist for Those Who Want to Study Theology (Part 2)
Read Part 1.
I said in the last post that I would continue where I left off, so let me say something about books covering other aspects of Systematic Theology first.
A “Must-Read” Booklist For Those Who Want To Study Theology (Part 1)
I received this question recently:
Thank you for all the material you put out. I have benefitted quite a bit. Do you have a list of books/reading that you would recommend as “must read” for someone wanting to grow theologically? I am a part-time worship pastor and full-time elementary music teacher. Previous experience as lay/part-time church planter, youth pastor, and young adult pastor. No seminary, relatively studied, conservative theologically.

Joseph's Weeping: 7 Strategically Arranged Scenes in Genesis
Body
“In Genesis 37–50, there are seven scenes where Joseph weeps. As we read about Joseph’s emotions, they also stir our own….In the Bible, the use of seven is part of an author’s literary strategy. We can look more closely to see whether these seven scenes have an even more strategic design.” - TGC
Discussion
