Courtesy to Bunyan,
This list was taken from Craig and Moreland (2003): 627-639. It’s a specialized list of technical works in philosophy and theology. The theology section was kind of soft, so I didn’t spend too much time transmitting those titles. I only listed works that a) are in LC’s library or b) I otherwise must have, assuming they weren’t in LC’s library. I started this list in 2014.
I hope to have this finished by 2020.
This list doesn’t include a lot of previously read philosophy (Coplestone, Gilson, Bahnsen, Van Til et al)
