Front cover, A Collision of Truths

Bibliography for A Collision of Truths: A Life In Conflict With A Cherished Faith, by Robert Y. Ellis

The following is a list of most of the books I have read during the past three decades that are relevant to Collision. They are presented in alphabetical order by author. I have referred to several that I felt were particularly relevant to me in footnotes in Collision. I'd be very interested to know if you have read any of these and whether you found them enlightening.
