This page is dedicated to the great books: the ones that stay close throughout life, drawing us back time after time. There is nothing as powerful to strengthen the imagination, stretch the mind or initiate meaningful conversation as the great books. As a seminary student at Denver Seminary, this list is influenced by the rich reading we do throughout our curriculum. I hope you find some new favorites, recommend your own favorites. I might just add them to the ever-growing queue at the bottom of the page. [Some books are linked to one of the cheapest places to buy books: Westminster Seminary Bookstore]
