Many genre books contain theological elements, in some form or another.  For this challenge, choose books that the theological subgenre label could apply to. And check out the books tagged with "theological subgenre" here on Worlds Without End (though there are many qualifying books not included).  How you interpret the challenge is up to you.   

Share what you plan to read - or have read - for this challenge.  Offer recommendations or request some ideas from your fellow challengers.  

And remember......this is a book discussion, not a religious debate.  Please play nice, everybody.

Location: Beaverton, Oregon, USA		Thanks for extending the challenge til December. I just picked up The Devil You Know at the library. I'll read it as soon as I'm done with the current book I'm on. I think this is a great challenge! I've already read some of the more popular ones like The Sparrow and its sequel, Behold the Man, Towing Jehovah. So I'll be perusing other people's lists for ideas. Thanks dalex!
