C.S Lewis

His Collected Works - Arguably the most famous apologeticist, C.S. Lewis is a must read. It's hard to recommend one book of his against another. I would recommend reading several and in doing so get a handle on his seminal ideas.

Francis Schaeffer

He is There and He is Not Silent - What Lewis was in the 40's, Schaeffer was in the 60s. The pastor to the hippies, he was a voice of stability for many troubled by an erosion of their understanding of the basics of reality. His thoughts are deep and his heart was big, making him a joy to read.

Ravi Zacharias

Anything he's written - He is a modern apologeticist and a genius. Raised in India, his insider view of Eastern religion combined with his outsider view of American culture provide refreshingly different perspectives. His book, Can Man Live Without God was adapted from a series of lectures he delivered at Harvard. Some copies of the book come with one of the lectures included, and I would recommend this highly if you are searching to bolster your faith with rational argument.

Living By The Book

Pocket History of the Church

By Jeffery Bingham. This is a VERY brief introduction to the history of the church. It is also a very well-written one from a brilliant historian. This is a great place to start if you want to get the basics.

The Story of Christianity

By Justo Gonzalez. This is arguably the best out there today. Written in two volumes, Gonzalez breaks his chapters down into small segments that you could read daily as a supplement to your devotional reading. His style is simple and engaging. This is a wonderful read.

The Swans Are Not Silent Series

By John Piper. Often people want to get some background on a certain figure in church history but they don't necessarily want to read a huge biography. These books can help you there. Every year at his pastor's conference, Piper presents a paper on a famous pastor or theologian or missionary. You can get them online, or you can buy a book from his "Swan" series where several figures are combined in each volume. Again, these are good for brief introductions to great figures in Church History.

John Owen

His collected works - one of the greatest puritan theologians, his writings focus on issues of sanctification. They are long, but the writing style is simple and his treatises typically focus on a few main ideas. J.I. Packer, a modern theologian, has been heavily influenced by Owen. If Owen's Treatise on the Mortification of Sin sounds daunting, then pick up anything by Packer. He is brilliant and would give you many of the same ideas.

John Piper

His collected works - a modern pastor/theologian in the mold of Jonathan Edwards. His web-site www.desiringgod.org is a wealth of knowledge on everything from sexual temptation to supralapsarianism. Unapolegetically Calvinist, he certainly challenges your view of God, and does so with great skill.

Jonathan Edwards

His collected works - a pastor/theologian from the First Great Awakening, often regarded as the greatest mind ever produced by America. He is stunning. I recommend beginning with his Resolutions and his Treatise on Religious Affections.

The Cross and Salvation

Bruce Demarest devotes chapters to important aspects of salvation, and in each chapter presents the views of different camps within evangelical circles before presenting his own.
