Theology reading list: Pauline Interpretation

So a couple days ago J.R. Briggs offered some good tips on reading well. It spurred some good conversation.

Well, I'm currently working on my comp. questions for at Marquette, and I thought that some of you all would be interested in what I have to read for my tests. So today, is my bibliography on Contemporary Pauline Theology with special reference to the Philippians Hymn. I would highly recommend the short book by Stendahl to see where the "New Perspective on Paul" came from and where N.T. Wright got everything (well, kinda).

Spiritual Leadership

What is spiritual leadership? What does it consist of, where does it come from, where does it propel us?

Let me know because at Life on the Vine we have been thinking more and more about leadership development, and this has returned me to a classic from my college years (which, surprisingly, is over 10 years past). This classic for me is Spiritual Leadership by J. Oswald Sanders. So I've decided that over the next couple of days and weeks I'm going to take various sounding from that book and reflect on them here. Sanders still speak to, encourages, and exhorts me to a deeper spiritual leadership and, frankly, I still haven't found a better leadership book that covers all the basics.

But because I've read the book several times, it would help me to know what issues or topics you think most important so I can focus on those themes rather than merely whatever strikes me.

So let me know what you think is most important for or about spiritual leadership? And hopefully together we can gaze through the murky waters of leadership.
