This bibliography only contains some of the texts that I have in my personal library, but all of these volumes have stimulated my thinking. They also represent various theological streams of thought, I have found it helpful to read widely and thus to be enriched by traditions  other than my own.

“Yet a problem remains and, as has been suggested from the outset, it is trinitarian. In this realm, there are two ways of diverging from the strait and narrow. They are represented on the one side by Calvin’s tendency to separate the divine and human reality of the one Christ and on the other by Barth’s to assimilate the two. Trinitarianly, two features must be maintained: that the Son does indeed do the Father’s work, so that, first, to know him is truly to know the Father; and yet, second, not to know him in such a way that his work is indistinguishable from that of God the Father. The Father sends, and the Son obeys, not merely as God obeying God, but as the incarnate and fully human Jesus obeying, in the power of the Spirit, the will of the one who sent him. The heart of the doctrine of substitution is not God as God simpliciter standing in his own dock, as in the truly memorable treatment by Barth, but God the Son bearing as man the weight of the Father’s holy wrath against sin. One inch from that path, and we are in the objectionable realms of either penal substitution or a mere exemplarism. But the dangerous path must be trodden, for unless we tread it, as Calvin did, we shall fail to articulate either the depth of the human plight or the divine and human cost of our redemption.”
