Top 100 Books every Progressive Christian should read

I searched everywhere and couldn’t find any major source that has produced this list, so here is where I will create it. I’ve put in mine, feel free to eddit, add or comment. I hope to get it published eventually. Also the reader will note that I have included distinctly NON-progressive books because I believe that it is important that all progressive christians must be well informed, which means that we must read what our more conservative brothers and sisters write.
