Thanks for the book suggestions. Those books have been on my "to read" list for a bit.
I've been reading a pretty wide range books critical of Christian Biblical literalism over the past couple years including Jonathan Kirsch's God Against the Gods and A History of the End of the World; Mark Smith's Memoirs of God; James Kugel's How to Read the Bible; most of the stuff by Bart Ehrman and Elaine Pagels; Bruce Malina's Social Science Commentaries on the Gospels and Pauline Epistles; and great book that traces the history of Christian fundamentalism in America, George Marsden's Fundamentalism and American Culture. I'll have to delve into the Gray books when I get through the other pile of stuff I have in front of me.
Thanks for the dialogue. I won't continue to bug you with more posts after this one.
Chris
