How did you create this list?

I used mytag:hermeneutics to filter my library; subject:hermeneutics would generate similar results
I selected the titles I remembered particularly liking while holding down Control
I selected save as bibliography in the library information panel
I used the export function on the bibliography
I used copy to clipboard and pasted into the forum message.
