    Hi there, out of curiosity, have you ever consulted any works by the late Prof. Meredith G. Kline?

    Yes, I do have Kline on the list above. There are many other excellent books by Kline that I have not put on the list, but are worth reading. I tried to keep this list geared toward an introduction to BT and related topics.
