It would probably not shock any of my friends to hear me confess this statement: I like to read.

Also coming as no great revelation, theology-biblical studies works sit at the top of my list. I greatly enjoy fantasy fiction as well (Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, etc).

But who are some of my favourite authors? I list them below (an uneven number – 11), and they come in no particular order:

1) N.T. (Tom) Wright

2) Scot McKnight

3) Eugene Peterson

4) James K.A. Smith

5) C.S. Lewis

6) Peter Enns

7) Larry Crabb

8) John Eldredge

9) J.R.R. Tolkein

10) Kenton Sparks

11) J.R. Daniel Kirk
