Jeg har lovet en oppdatert anbefalingsliste med diverse læringsmuligheter. Mot verdenshistoriens største tenkere, som har skrevet gode bøker om alle mulige slags tema, er våre egne ideer og tanker veldig lite verdt dersom vi starter fra bunnen av. Derfor er det greit å lære fra dem, slik at vi kan tenke fra skuldrene deres, før vi lurer oss selv til å tro at vi tenker best på egen hånd.

Bøker har dessuten den fordelen av å kunne fortelle historier fra A til Å, og er ikke begrenset til få tegn i oppsummerende format. Så her er en oppdatert liste med lesverdig innhold, alfabetisk ordnet etter fornavn, fra både kristne og ateister. For mer info, kan du trykke på linkene. Overskriftene er noe glidende, men utgjør en grov oversikt:
