The following items are in the introductory reading list for the 2010-entry Philosophy and Religion MA course at Heythrop1, University of London. To quote “If you had time to read one or two of the following, it would be useful preparation, introducing you to the field. Those with an “*” are recommended for those without much background in this particular area.”

PHILOSOPHY OF RELIGION and TWENTIETH CENTURY RELIGIOUS THOUGHT

  1. Felicity McCutcheon, Religion within the Limits of Language Alone: Wittgenstein on Philosophy and Religion (Ashgate 2001) – too expensive, and presumably on the list – like a lot of the others – as it’s a “Heythrop” book, but see "Scott (Michael) - Review of 'Religion Within the Limits of Language Alone: Wittgenstein on Philosophy and Religion' By Felicity McCutcheon" for a (somewhat negative) review.
  2. *"Peterson (Michael), Hasker (William), Reichenbach (Bruce) & Basinger (David) - Reason and Religious Belief: An Introduction to the Philosophy of Religion",
  3. *"Vardy (Peter) & Arliss (Julie) - The Thinker's Guide to Evil",
  4. *"Vardy (Peter) & Arliss (Julie) - The Thinker's Guide to God",
  5. "Lonergan (Bernard J.F.) - Method in Theology".
ETHICS PATHWAY
  1. "Gill (Robin) - The Cambridge Companion to Christian Ethics",
  2. *"Hoose (Bernard) - Received Wisdom?: Reviewing the Role of Tradition in Christian Ethics",
  3. "Bonevac (Daniel) - Today's Moral Issues: Classic and Contemporary Perspectives".
I also have:- At my interview with Dr. McDade, I was recommended to look at the following books:-
  1. "MacIntyre (Alasdair) - After Virtue"
  2. "Kerr (Fergus) - Theology After Wittgenstein"
  3. "Kerr (Fergus) - After Aquinas: Versions of Thomism"
  4. "McCabe (Herbert) - On Aquinas"
  5. "Kerr (Fergus) - Immortal Longings: Versions of Transcending Humanity"
  6. "Burrell (David) - Aquinas: God and Action"
… though the book by McCabe wasn’t strictly recommended – McCabe was mentioned, and a quick look on Amazon revealed this as a likely candidate.
