One of my classes is a history class that is heavy on theory. I would really like to know more about theory, but I have a difficult time finding the spare time to read theory when there is so much I haven't read in biblical studies. Below I have listed some books that I would really like to read when I have time, but who knows when that will be? (The books below are, in some cases, outdated and/or defunct, but they are all classics that I would like to read, despite whether or not they continue to be useful.)
Max Weber, The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism
Michel Foucault, The Order of Things (I’ve read half.)
Rudolf Otto, The Idea of the Holy
Ludwig Feuerbach, The Essence of Christianity
Karl Marx, Marx on Religion
Claude Levi-Strauss, The Savage Mind
Edward Said, Orientalism
William James, The Varieties of Religious Experience (I’ve read bits and pieces.)
Carl Jung, Four Archetypes
Sigmund Freud, Totem and Taboo (I’ve read bits and pieces)
