Bio:
I am at long last home as a Catholic Christian disciple of Jesus Christ. I'm a novice theologian. I'm seeking books either authored by Catholic Christian authors or Catholic favorable/leaning Protestants, (usually found among the Anglican communion or Orthodox/Eastern Orthodox). CS Lewis would be a good example of a Protestant who was virtually Catholic in his thought and doctrine. He was Anglican. I've spent my whole life reading theology and doctrine from the Protestant side of Christianity, as well as the Far Eastern Religions and Philosophies. I was Buddhist myself, for most of my adult life, after a Lutheran Protestant upbringing, a brush with Scientology, and a longer brush with Urantia. I don't have any further interest really in anything unfriendly, and antagonistic to Catholic faith or doctrine. I've seen, heard, and most likely re-interpreted and spouted it all. When God called me to conversion he blessedly closed that chapter of my life. I am now voraciously hungry for the words of my Lord, and authentic study by the Church fathers, (Polycarp, Iraneus etc.), St. Thomas Aquinas, and other great Catholic theologians of history, both ancient and contemporary. I also deeply enjoy GK Chesterton and CS Lewis. I'm studying Latin, and then will be moving to Greek, and then Aramaic. I would love to see any materials written in those languages to assist in this learning process. PARTICULARLY Bibles. Interlinear or singular. The Septauagint; the Sacra Vulgata, etc.. I also am looking for Douay-Rheims bibles of the Confraternity variety or St. Jerome translations. And any manner of Study Bibles, though I am up to date of the fine series being put out slowly by Ignatius Press with commentary by the Church Fathers, and Scott Hahn. I'd love to get my hands on the entire Didache study series eventually. A good number of these books are expensive, and permanent to a persons' library once they are acquired, so I don't expect to find some of these here, but who knows? They're all on my wishlist. I'm happy to give away most things that I read, as soon as I'm done.
