Other than the Holy Bible, what writings should every Christian try to find and read, in your opinion?
For example: The Didache, writings by early Christian apologetics like Justin Matyr, St. Augustine's books, The Nicene Creed, the works of C.S. Lewis, Pope Benedict's book "Jesus of Nazareth", the Dead Sea Scrolls....etc.
These can be any book, writing or article that you think was essential to your understanding of Christianity, theology or to your interpretation of the Bible.
TOPICS: Catholic; General Discusssion; Theology; Worship
KEYWORDS: bible; scripture; theology; tradition

I’d add Francis Schaeffer’s works as well as Charles Spurgeon’s sermons.

Tozer is great. I love his emphasis on the need for repentance as well as forgiveness.

C.S Lewis for sure.
I also highly recommend anything by Norman Geisler.

Tozer! Yes! Very powerful, very convicting. Have you read anything by G. Campbell Morgan or C.H. MacKintosh? 2 very good Christian writers.

Since you mentioned C.S. Lewis, my very favorite writing of his is “A Grief Observed.” On the same subject, the only book actually penned by Oswald Chambers, “Baffled to Fight Better” is a must read. “The School of Christ” by T. Austin Sparks had a big impact on me, and a book by present day author, Gene Edwards, “The Prisoner in the Third Cell.”
