I am asking a number of friends to answer the following question: If you could wave a magical wand which caused all Christians to read five books, what works would you pick? Here is the next installment.

Louis Markos is the Robert H. Ray Chair in Humanities at Houston Baptist University.  He is an expert on Wordsworth, C.S. Lewis and the author of many acclaimed books.  Here is Lou’s list:

Dante’s Divine Comedy for sure and much of C.S.Lewis. If they are up for it, Brothers Karamazov. I’d like see everyone read more Plato and some Greek tragedy. I really think it points ahead to Christianity in powerful ways!
