one book for every doctrine

Having read Ben Myers' great post today A dogmatics for every occasion, I was thinking, if you had to choose one book for each major doctrine, what would you choose? (I've probably missed some doctrines out). There's too much Colin Gunton, but that just reflects my current lack of wider reading (which I hope to correct from September onwards if I'm back studying)

Doctrine of the Trinity - Being As Communion (John Zizioulas) or The Doctrine of God (T.F. Torrance)

Doctrine of the Divine Attributes - Church Dogmatics 2/1 (Karl Barth)

Doctrine of Christ - Jesus - God and Man (Wolfhart Pannenberg)

Doctrine of the Holy Spirit - The Giving Gift (Tom Smail)

Doctrine of Creation - The Triune Creator (Colin Gunton)

Doctrine of Atonement - Church Dogmatics 4/1 (Karl Barth), Self and Salvation (David Ford)

Doctrine of the Church - After Our Image: The Church as the Image of the Trinity (Miroslav Volf)

Doctrine of Scripture - Holy Scripture (John Webster) or Engaging Scripture (Stephen Fowl)

Doctrine of Eschatology - The Coming of God (Jurgen Moltmann)

Doctrine of Sin - Bound to Sin (Alistair MacFayden)

Doctrine of Humanity | Personhood - The Call to Personhood (Alistair MacFayden), Persons, Divine and Human (eds. Christoph Schwobel & Colin Gunton)

Doctrine of Sanctification - Holiness (John Webster)

Doctrine of Revelation - A Brief Theology of Revelation (Colin Gunton)

Doctrine of Evil - Raging with Compassion (John Swinton)

Doctrine of the Imago Dei - The Liberating Image (J. Richard Middleton)

Impressive. I quite liked Kung and Moltmann on 'church' too (not that I can now remember much of what they say!)

Forgive my ignorance, mere Practial Theologian that I am, is there a definitive list of 'Major Doctrines'? I've never even, until now, heard of the Doctrine of Knowledge.

My view always was that having a degree in theology meant that I now realised just how little I knew - but now I know it's even less!

Keep up the excellent blogging - it keeps making me think.

I gave my list on Ben's site. I couldn't do just one book for each doctrine. I am not surprised that we both included Volf on ecclesiology.
