This is a comprehensive list of extra-Biblical sources that I have read in preparation for sermons in the Citizen Christian sermon series. Individual citations can be found within the sermon Manuscript of each sermon, included in each sermon post each week. Inclusion on this list is not a recommendation of the source. Any source preceded by “*” is one that I most highly recommend on their particular subjects / topics. I will update this list with any additional sources as I work through the series. If you know of other important works in any of these topics or field, please feel free to share them in the reply section. We pray this helps and encourages you.
