I like the summaries on the Arrowhead list! It’s also good to know that a lot of them are books I’ve read and liked or books that sound intriguing! Unfortunately, I remember some of them less than kindly and wonder why people torture students with them 🙁
In all serousness – a word of caution. Of all the authors I’ve ever read, Samuel Beckett is the one who most viciously attacks Christianity. Sometimes he uses rather disgusting imagery to do so.
