Goodbooks On the Reading of Good Books . By the Rev. Scott Stiegemeyer, Admissions Counselor C. S. Lewis once commented that he felt it is not as important to read a large number of books as it is to read a few good ones often and well. Let s face it.

We have, therefore, produced a basic list of recommended literature that is available upon request for those considering the study of theology. With this in mind, here are a couple of titles from our list, plus one or two besides. Maybe it seems obvious, but we think that too often the fundamentals of reading for understanding is a skill overlooked.
