What do you consider essential readings for conservative Christians (other than the Holy Bible)?

CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

I think The Ladder of Divine Ascent by St. John Climacus is essential reading for anyone with even an interest in Christianity. If I had my way it would part of the new testament.

Not just for conservative, but for all Christians:
Theodicy - G. W. Leibniz
Labyrinth of the World and Paradise of the Heart - J. A. Comenius
Unum Necessarium - J. A. Comenius
The Moment - S. Kierkegaard
Some New Testament Greek textbook, at least the basics.

Not all who wander are lost
The Great Divorce by C.S. Lewis
The Abolition of Man by C.S. Lewis
Mere Christianity by C.S. Lewis
Orthodoxy by G.K. Chesterton
The Everlasting Man by G.K. Chesterton
Ideas Have Consequences by Richard Weaver
The Confessions of St. Augustine
The Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien (followed by Peter Kreeft's lecture "Language and Beauty in the Lord of the Rings")
The Platonic Tradition by Peter Kreeft (you can actually find this on youtube in a series of lectures, search "Peter Kreeft plato lectures)
