Congrats to Minnesota's Greg Boyd, who with Paul Eddy, win an impressive accolade for their book, "The Jesus Legend: A Case for the Historical Reliability of the Synoptic Jesus Tradition." It seems the only book on CT's list that I've picked up is Eugene Peterson's "The Jesus Way." And I heartily second CT's recommendation.

It doesn't look like I'll make it through their list anytime soon, though. Rob Bell has sufficiently piqued my interest in picking up some of NT Wright's "For Everyone" Bible study series. "The Prison Letters" and "Luke" look like good places to start. I may just as well break down and consider that my next reading kick to go on and pick up a few more after that. Bell's working through Philippians at an enjoyably snail's pace ... and Boyd has been doing the same with Luke since I started listening to him.

Speaking of NT Wright, there's a little Q&A with him over at Preaching Today Blog worth checking out.
