“God has to work in the soul in secret and in darkness because if we fully knew
what was happening, and what Mystery, transformation,
God and Grace will eventually ask of us,
we would either try to take charge or stop the whole process.” 

― St. John of the Cross,
today is his feast day!

*** Best Theology Books of 2018!

One of the distinctive parts of our mission here at the ERB is recommending
substantial theology books that deserve to be read not only among academics,
but also in churches, as we seek to discern what faithfulness to the way of Jesus looks like in 
our particular places amidst all the challenges of the twenty-first century.
So, in addition to our Advent calendar of 2018’s Best Books  (which will feature
a few of the following books),  we offer this deeper look at the year’s best theology books.
