re some questions from a new christian steven r hoskins bach udel edu wrote hi i am new to this newsgroup and also fairly new to christianity i realize i am very ignorant about much of the bible and quite possibly about what christians should hold as true this i am trying to rectify by reading the bible of course but it would be helpful to also read a good interpretation commentary on the bible or other relevant aspects of the christian faith one of my questions i would like to ask is can anyone recommend a good reading list of theological works intended for a lay person i d recommend mcdowell s evidence that demands a verdict books i think and manfred brauch s hard sayings of paul he also may have done hard sayings of jesus my focus would be for a new christian to struggle with his faith and be encouraged by the historical evidence especially one who comes from a background which emphasizes knowable faith scott dittman email sdittman wlu edu university registrar talk fax washington and lee university snail mail lexington virginia
