This page will serve as a running bibliography of the books mentioned on this blog. I’ll try and categorize them in a way that makes this easy to browse, and I’ll also make sure to link in related blog posts. I’m also going to list some of my alltime favorite reads, since those texts are an undercurrent beneath most of my reflection here.
On the Domesticated Christian Life (book with universal relevance to this blog!)
- Michael Northcott. A Moral Climate: The Ethics of Global Warming
Hospitality and the Christian Tradition
- Kristine Pohl. Making Room: Recovering Hospitality As a Christian Tradition (Eerdman’s, 1999) [Post 1]
- Luke Bretherton. Hospitality as holiness : Christian witness amid moral diversity (2006).
Theology and The Domestic Space (the Home)
- Margaret Kim Peterson. Keeping House: The Litany of Everyday Life

On integrating Christian scripture and ethical reflection

- See also my amazon listmania! on “Biblical Ethics.” I’m working on migrating this to worldcat (no need to write free content for Amazon)… stay tuned.
- There are a number of good articles that I’ll be adding to this list in the new year as well – email in the meantime if you’re interested.
Please note: upon some reflection about the most ethical way to communicate publicly through blogging [see also: link], I’ve decided to divest myself from commercially-based social media. You’ll find the links above go to worldcat.org (rather than Amazon.com) which you can use to find copies of these books at libraries, or follow links to purchase a book from any number of booksellers. Enjoy!
