| Lore Program Bibliography Books and Articles Arranged by Subject BOLD FACE Indicates Lore Program Required Reading Note: This bibliography is presented to The Troth’s members as a resource for their own studies. It represents the current list of books cited by the Lore Program for its students. It is by no means exhaustive – scholarship never is. At the same time, some of these works are controversial, or contain errors. This is also the nature of published scholarship, and while the Lore Program has done its best to weed out the more egregious works, a listing here should NOT indicate that Lore Program members necessarily agree with its work, nor that it is infallible. Critical thinking is an essential part of scholarship, so there are works here which require that skill to navigate. Finally, no bibliography such as this should ever be considered final – it is the intention of the Lore Program to update this bibliography as new books are published, books are rendered obsolete, and so forth. Check the “last updated” date below to be sure! Original Uploaded: June 11, 2007 by Patricia Lafayllve, Provost Last Updated: June 11, 2007
