A BIBLIOGRAPHY

WE CAN'T LIVE

WITHOUT



Compiled by

Brian J. Walsh and

J. Richard Middleton,

Updated and expanded by Ian Ritchie

Revisions in 2004 by Gordon Matties for students in the Senior Integrative Seminar,

Canadian Mennonite University

may be copied for personal use, but not for profit.

This bibliography is the latest revision of the one that first appeared in The Transforming Vision: Shaping a Christian World View (Downers Grove, Ill.: InterVarsity Press, 1984). As with that earlier version, we have made a deliberate attempt not to be comprehensive. In most of the fields listed, there are many more books than the ones we have included. Rather than writing a comprehensive bibliography, we have attempted to compile the "bibliography we can't live without." These books are the essentials. Although we do not necessarily endorse everything that all of these books say, we nevertheless believe them to be foundational to developing a Christian perspective in each discipline. The bibliography has four sections:

Sections I and IV list resources with which everyone should be familiar. Sections II and III have subheadings for assorted disciplines offered at the university. Obviously, we all need to be reading the books in our own particular discipline. We have also included a list of general books on "Forming a Christian Perspective in Science" and "Setting a Christian Foundation in the Humanities and Social Sciences" at the beginning of sections II and III respectively. These books, together with those listed under "Christian Faith and University Study," are helpful in getting a broader Christian perspective in our studies, which then must be worked out more specifically in each student's discipline. All of the books in this bibliography are important. They are gifts that the Lord has given to the Christian community to help it to grow in all things into Christ. But to help students choose the most important books, we have placed an asterisk (*) beside three or four entries under each subheading. The books in this bibliography are foundational. Once the foundation has been set, we must build on it. We will need to search out other resources to help us to live Christian lives, integrated and whole.

In the 1997 revisions Ian Ritchie updated the entire bibliography, and added new sections on Anthropology, Journalism, Drama, Business, Conflict Resolution Studies, Sports, and the Genetics Revolution (with thanks for the latter to Dr. A. Chudley, Prof., Depts. of Pediatrics and Human Genetics, University of Manitoba.)
