Important Books
This is a partial list of books that we use in our higher education program.
No list is complete; we welcome suggestions of books that should be added to the
list. Each of us will have a different interpretation about a particular text;
the intent of our program is to equip each student with the skills necessary to
make his or her own determination about the important texts of the day.
