i’m removing a couple of books to focus on class texts. i’ll read the others at a later date. Also, i am liking this list stuff, so i will continue doing during each “session” (Winter quarter, Spring quarter, Summer break, Fall quarter, Winter break) as it helps keep me on track with my readings.

Some more updates…

1. Update ZFT (www.zealfortruth.org)
2. Read the following:
   • Philosophical Fragments, Kierkegaard

Also, afte some discussion with my advisor and a few other grad students, i’ve added a few more docotral programs. i was told to apply to at least 5. i also found out that Westphal (the reason i added Fordham to the list) wasn’t quite worth studying under for my area of interest. So, i did some more research…

1. PhD, Theology (subfield: Philosophy and Theology) @ Princeton Seminary (Princeton, NJ)
2. ThD, Theology @ Harvard Divinity (Boston area, MA)
3. PhD, Religious Studies (subfield: Theology/Phil of Religion), Yale University (Boston area, MA)
4. Religion, Philosophy, and Ethics (subfield: Either Theology or Philosophy of Religion) @ Boston University (Boston, MA)

6. Philosophy @ Fordham University (New York, NY)

Christmas was “fun” at my in-laws. i got the game Settlers of Catan. Highly recommended. Played many times. A friend of ours got an “extension” for it known as Seafarers of Catan and we played that as well. i think the best was to describe it is as a cross between Monopoly and Risk.
