Second book from the top, looks like Chesterton maybe - another solid Catholic ...
Lewis went to a church with priests and real wine in the Eucharist ...
aaron may be on to something here ... might want to throw on the stack some Calvin, Piper, and Sproul just to keep from some folks writing a blog post about your catholic leanings!
Since when is Augustine Catholic? You guys need to study your church history. All the good men who lived before the Reformation would more properly be called "catholic," not "Catholic." There's no father more foundational in the thinking of Calvin and Luther than Augustine.
I don't think anyone should make monolithic claims on church history, it is quite anachronistic to do so. We should take the good with the bad, like any honest family history.
I mean the books... it's a beautiful stack of books. also, how dare you make claims about anything? we should all be ashamed; don't you know real scholars stopped knowing things four decades ago. (sarc.)

I suppose the library forgives overdue book fines for such pastors on sabbatical longer than 28 days...
