Post 19 of 40 of the Humanist Lent Writing Project
Okay I admit it, I fell of the horse with this writing project (see link above) but I intend to catch up and still hit 40 posts by Easter! Today I’m sharing my summer reading list which I’m starting on the plane home from my third session of the Humanist Institute since I will be reviewing and finishing up those books the next week or so. I will also be reading a pile of books for my August session of the Humanist Institute so this list will be a little short.
- Meditations for the Humanist: Ethics for a Secular Age,
by A.C. Grayling - Love Wins: A Book About Heaven, Hell, and the Fate of Every Person Who Ever Lived, by Rob Bell
- The Good Book: A Humanist Bible, by A.C. Grayling
- The Portable Atheist, by Christopher Hitchens
- Philosophers Without Gods: Meditations on Atheism and the Secular Life, Edited by Louise M. Antony
Some of these books I’ve read sections of or skimmed quickly but I hope by the end of summer to have these five books under my belt. Both Love Wins and The Good Book are newly released and I hope are as good as I’ve heard. I feel all of them provide a broad base to reflect on modernity and how to live as a Humanist in a more thoughtful way.
