A Murder of Angels Schildkrote A Murder of Angels This list would be more comprehensive if sections were divided into fiction and non-fiction. 3nodding sometimes its hard to judge with religion.... Sad but true. Prehaps "presented as non-fiction" is a better choise in words. definitely sounds better....

Merlin the White A section for Mormonism needs to be added, and the first entries under it should be "the Book of Mormon", and two other Holy Texts, whose name escapes me but I will look up and get back to you on. Also, a section on cults/New Religious Movements/Non-Mainstream religions should also be added. The other two scriptural texts we believe in are the "Doctrine and Covenants" and "Pearl of Great Price" So could you please add those under the LDS section?

- "Galileo Galilei" by Bertolt Brecht (it's about Galilei's struggle with the Catholic Church, when he started to question wether the earth is the center of the universe and if Copernicus' theory was right)
- "Nathan the Wise" by Lessing (it's a really good book about religious tolerance, I might post an excerpt later)
- "Candide" by Voltaire (very funny satire about optimism and pessismism, has some religious themes, too. It questions wether priests should be corrupt and materialistic)
- "The Crucible" by Arthur Miller (book about the witch trials in Salem, portaits life in Puritan times)
- "Black Boy" by Richard Wright (Richard's biography, it talks about racism at Jim Crow laws times and his religion fanatic aunt and grandmother as antagonists)

I'm currently reading "East of Eden" by John Steinbeck. Definitely a great book! Here's an article that I found that gives you a pretty good overview of the book. East of EdenHere's the connection to religion: Quote: Steinbeck's inspiration for the novel comes from the Bible, the fourth chapter of the book of Genesis, verses one though sixteen, which recounts the story of Cain and Abel. The title, East of Eden, was chosen by Steinbeck from Genesis, Chapter 4, verse 16.

Wilykit Maby ther would be good to add necronomicon to the santanic. Its kind of interesting.. (blinks) I thought the Necronomicon was a fictional book described in H.P. Lovecraft's horror novels. Supposedly it included information on how to summon Cthulu, the (also-fictional) demon. I guess I shouldn't be surprised that someone actually wrote one.

Faust by Goethe should fit nicely under christian mysticism.
