Handbook of Mathematical Logic, edited by Barwise, published by
North-Holland. An excellent reference for logic in general.
Another one for Set Theory in particular is Fraenkel/Bar-Hillel/Levy's
Foundations of Set Theory (a new edition is in print, and so the
author list might have changed for this).

Can God make all true propositions green?
Can God make all paradoxes metaphorical?
Can God make all adjectives nouns?
Can God make colors immobile?
