This list includes selected classic works in addition to some more modern titles. For the sake of convenience, it is divided into two sections: works of 20th and 21st century authors; and those written before 1900. Many of these books have been published in different editions and printings. The modern editions listed below should be available from booksellers, but don't forget to check your local library!

An Anglican Bookshelf is a work in progress -- more titles and author information will be coming soon.
