top ten lists on jesus and paul

Sparked by Scot McKnight's post, there are some bloggers providing their top ten lists of books on Jesus and Paul, good lists which I may not be able to add to even if I had the time. Here are the lists I've seen so far.

On Jesus:

• Scot McKnight
• Michael Bird (with commentary here)
  
• Sean du Toit
• Loren Rosson (with commentary here)
  

On Paul:

• Scot McKnight
• Michael Bird
  

There was some similar discussion on the Crosstalk list not too long ago (see one thread beginning here), but if my memory serves correctly there was not much fruit in terms of actual lists like this. If time allows, I may post my own lists down the road.

UPDATE (08/05): Stephen Carlson has some good thoughts on buying books on Jesus and Paul for those just starting their personal libraries: What Books to Buy for Biblical Scholarship. And Mark Goodacre follows up on Stephen's post with some similar thoughts: Top Ten Lists.

UPDATE (08/06): Scot McKnight has posted other top ten lists as well worth checking out: Spiritual Formation; Missional Formation; New Testament Theology; Earliest Christianity.

UPDATE (08/20): Michael Turton offers his thoughts on the lists and further issues: Top Ten Jesus Books.
