Theology Books that one cannot not read

The list author says:
	"St Augustine''s exceptional Autobiography. It was fascinating to read his thought process (for example, on the existence of Evil), and conversion. It shows how faith can make a Saint from a Thief."

The list author says:
	"A book that will inspire everyone to become 'properly educated'."

The list author says:
	"Merton shows us how demanding the Christian life is, yet how beautiful in one of his most well known books"

The list author says:
	"Probably the best book on the Problem of Evil I have ever read, the only problem is that it is very hard to disagree with Hart!"

The list author says:
	"Ratzinger's (now Pope Benedict's) book is one that is a really good examination of what it means to be a Christian, but it is not a good light read, for it is very advanced for an introduction."

The list author says:
	"To quote Kierkegaard: "If at the bottom of everything there were only a wild ferment... What would life be but despair". This is a great analysis of Christianity against Enlightenment Philosophy."

The list author says:
	"Merton's Autobiography, in many ways a modern Confessions, yet so different in many others. A must read."

The list author says:
	"Tolstoy shows how devoid from hope life is without Christianity, and how it is ultimately unsatisfactory"

The list author says:
	"A brilliant, concise, book about the Desert Fathers (a group of Monks who lived in the Desert in the Early History of Christianity), which will show the importance of both Tradition, and Silence."

The list author says:
	"A really good introduction to what Faith really means, mainly for a Catholic, but obviously lots of it still applies for most Christians"
