Items marked with an asterisk [*] are top priority for acquisition and/or use. Others would be good to have if and when finances allow and well worth consulting even now. (All are selected as excellent out of a much larger list that could have been compiled.) Selections are consciously weighted in favor of evangelical scholarship but excellent works from other perspectives are included.
