I've been playing with this for two or three years.
I will not lie and tell you that I have read all of them. I know almost
nothing about some of the authors and have had to rely on secondary sources
for several of them. I welcome suggestions. Just keep in mind that this is
entirely for my own edification and amusement, although I hope it will
provoke thoughtful discussion. Currently, the list skews heavily toward
white, British, male, High Church (more or less), 19th and 20th century
writers. I welcome suggestions of authors who are (1) women; (2)
evangelicals; (3) from Australia, New Zealand, and the developing world; and
(4) from the 16th, 17th, and 18th centuries. However keep in mind that (1)
this list is completely subjective; and (2) I am the benevolent overlord and
my decisions are absolute and final. That said, please send your suggestions
to anglcan@aol.com. Thanks.
