The following reading list has been composed by the seminary faculty as a service to our community. Books on this list are included not necessarily for their outstanding theological reliability but because each has made a significant contribution—for better or for worse—in its field. As such, the seminary does not endorse any book on this list nor fully embrace the theology of any author. This is a bibliography of important works in each field—books which a thorough student may consult in the course of researching a particular passage or subject. Any of these books which
are currently in print may be purchased or ordered through Calvary's
bookstore, most
discounted at least 10%.
