Welcome to the summer reading lists! Here you will find a few suggestions from library staff for summerreading.

As you consider these titles, there are a few things to note. None of these lists are created for particularclasses, nor will you receive any consolation prize for reading them all. Also, these are not top 10 lists or in a

particular order. Finally, no list necessarily reflects the doctrinal stance of Southern Seminary or the personwho submitted it. These are merely works we have found to be intellectually stimulating for academic and

personal growth.
