Brian asked:

I would like to learn a lot more about political and theological philosophy. My current background in
these areas is limited to personal experience, my own thoughts and various ideas scattered from
around the internet. All of this is very unorganized and daunting. I was hoping I could get some
assistance on selecting a some good starter books in these areas.

============

Aristotle's Politicsand Nicomachean Ethicsare invaluable books in political and theological
philosophy respectively. They are books to start with and which you will find you never finish with. As
philosophical theology is my area I would strongly recommend The Principles of Christian Theology
(Revised Edition) by John MacQuarrie (SCM Press, 1977) It is an solid grounding for whatever you
may subsequently work with in the area.
