[Magdalen] What are we reading?

[John R Robison]

Shattering the Ley by Joshua Palmatier.
I met him at a local sci-if convention. It's an excellent book about the dangers of tampering with power and nature while ignoring or disbelieving the consequences.

Salvation by Allegiance Alone: Rethinking Faith, Works, and the Gospel of Jesus the King by Matthew W. Bates.
It's a fascinating book about how the faith/works argument is misguided, and quite beside the point. 
Lots of looking at how pistis is used in what context in the Gospels and Epistles, particularly Paul.
