[GrayPilgrim]

The last one is about the Battle of Kasserine Pass during WW2. It wsa the first battle in which the American Forces came up against Germans and got pretty well bloodied. It wasn't until a year or so later that the British Army thought the American Army was worth anything.

I saw a set of Warfield's stuff this weekend it was a two volume set put out by Banner of Truth that had things put in that miniscule font that allows them to put a lot in at the expense of the readers eyes, so I passed it up.

[BeHereNow]

Hmm.. the last couple used book that I've bought have been very disappointing. One of them was so old that the map on the inside came out when I looked at it, and one of them has a bent up cover and spine, the pages are yellow and the binding is coming loose. :doh: My advice: don't buy used books off Amazon hehe.

Curious are ye?

The one with the map coming out was Ancient Near East Texts; Pritchard, Arthur B.

The bent up one is Crime and Punishment written by that louse Dostoyevsky.

From now on I pay full price for full quality. :rant:

Solly is quite happy with the $100 worth of books he just brought from Amazon dealers.

Have a good day.

[Solly]

Sorry, my imprecise communication there. The 2nd hand stuff comes from my local Christian bookshop - no link - and a lot of the specials come from there too. The latest stuff is from T&T Clark, but he is knocking it out even cheaper, at cost or less than. But some of the stuff he gets is on the sale at T&TClark.

If you can get to the UK...

[followinghim]

I am in the U.K. ....Gloucestershire.

[Solly]

OIC. I'm in Northampton, and the shop is The Manna House.

The cut price sale is currently on for T&T stuff, although it's now 2 for £10; I guess I got some discount :ahem: T&T are sending him stuff every three months, it seems. The second hand stuff comes out when he has enough to make a go of it. He also has other sales stuff on the go, from shop clearances etc. Anything you are particularly interested in?
He gives good prices when buying 2nd hand too.

Solly, I wonder if you have read Andrew Lincoln's book:

A very good book IMHO.:smile:

[Solly]

No, I haven't read any Lincoln. Does 'law suit' refer to the Covenant lawsuit?

What's your speciality btw?

I'm only a mature undergraduate. My dissertation is on the beliefs and practices of the Lord's Supper.

Btw, my most used resource for getting books is ABEbooks (http://dogbert.abebooks.com/servlet/SearchEntry), including foreign language ones. however, my second favourite is not on the internet, and thus not on ABE, which is Ray Davenport, Willow Cotage, Lower Frith, nr Tenbury Wells, Worcs, WR15 8JU. Regular lists, quite a bit of academic stuff, good prices, regular clearance sales. i usually buy something off every catalogue he sends.

Of which I just received:
L Segundo, Theology and the Church
E Schweizer, Lordship and Discipleship
D Neilands, Studies in the Covenant of Grace
H L Jackson, The Eschatology of Jesus

Solly,

Look for Victor P. Furnish on II Corinthians in the Anchor Bible series. It is going OOP because, evidently, a new volume is coming out to replace it. It is one of the leading commentaries on II Corinthians, so look for it.

We had a wonderful time thank you Solly. Did I mention it was my birthday while we were over there? Someone gave me a copy of "When the Enemy Strikes" by Charles F. Stanley. It is a book about spiritual warfare. We watched his tv programme over there on Sunday mornings before going to church. I haven't started it yet. Other books to finish first.

A book on spiritual warfare I would also recommend is "Dressed to Kill" by Rick Renner. It is based on Ephesians 6:10-18.

That is a shame about the London prices. Do you live near to a branch of the SPCK? They usually have a bargain book section as well as a secondhand section and I have been so fortunate to get so many books related to the subjects I was studying.

Although we live in Gloucestershire we haven't yet got to Hay on Wye. I wouldn't like to leave our little dog Leo on his own all day and I am not sure how animal friendly somewhere like that may be, unless of course someone reading this knows different.

:lol:

Actually, on some aspects he's very good. His view of paul's anthropology I found every interesting, and similar to a view I put forward here a while back. And his views on faith etc aren't a million miles from Lutheran pietism, and thus Evangelicalism. In fact, I was more surprised by how un-radical his views were. but then, it was over 60 years ago.

The thrid one I have read (and Ian Ker's massive biography which I recommend). The other too I covet. is that your local SPCK? We don't have one here, nearest is Birmingham.

[followinghim]

Solly, this was at the Bristol branch. I know where the one is in Birmingham, (I think). They have been very helpful in the past and have posted book to me. Bristol has a very good Bargain Book and Secondhand Book section. I could have spent hours more there, but for the car on a meter outside and the lateness of the day.

I also hear that Wesley Owen Books are going to have a Bargain Book section at some of their branches. I think Cheltenham branch is too small to have one tho'.

God Bless.

[Solly]

The nearest WO is Bedford, and its just a small Xtn bookshop they took over. The Independant in Northampton is quite large, though not as large as SPCK Brum, but you can't stock everything!!

I've just remembered, the SPCK has gone, i looked for it a year ago. There is St Paul's Media though, a Catholic shop

- Reality and Evangelical Theology by T F Torrance
- The Human Person in Science and Theology (various)
- Text and Truth by Francis Watson
- T F Torrance in a nutshell

There, I feel better already for having said that. :smile:
Has anyone here used the website www.continuumbooks.com (http://www.continuumbooks.com) to order stuff? I have and they are good, have both US and UK/Europe site and a good bargains section in theology and also other Biblical/Religious sections.

Oh yes and I also got last month a few other items
A Wrinkle in Time - Madeleine L'Engle (for my daughter, honest)
Explorations in Theology - Jurgen Moltmann
The Spirit in the Gospels and Acts - Craig Keener
The Theology of Jurgen Moltmann (cannot remember the author, am not at home to check).

That really is it for now. Have seen one or two interesting items at www.dovebook.com (http://www.dovebook.com) but I have never used them, any feedback on that one?

Not that I am about to order any more right now, no really I'm not.

Season Greetings to fellow bookworms

Keith, thanks for the link to www.continuumbooks.com (http://www.continuumbooks.com/) . I will take a look.

Hi Solly, I was wondering what had happened to you. This thread has been awful quiet for a while now.

I did buy an old secondhand book from SPCK in Worcester, but I can't remember the details and I have got a very sleepy poodle on my lap, who isn't too keen on me moving at the moment. :lol:

Have any of you put in requests for books for Christmas? What are you hoping to get ?

Blessings

Santa, AKA my wife, is fed up with books so I will have to wait until any January sales. They used to have a January sale at London Bible College, now known as London School of Theology. I live close by so if I see anything interesting I shall post here for those who are interested. :smile:

OK, the most recent secondhand book I have bought is : "The History of the Christian Church to the Separation of East and West" by Rev. A.R. Whitham, MA.

The other books I have bought recently have been new.

Hi Solly

Don't know why I didn't think to ask you before. Got any idea where I can pick up a copy of Clinical Theology by Frank Lake? Lots of people quote it but it is a really hard to find item. I would settle for an abridged version right now.

Hmmm. Just seeing what you got there. Copleston, Phillips, Murdoch ... so there is a philosophy theme going on here ? That 'Christian Mission and Modern Culture' series has some gems. If I remember rightly I read a rather good little Alan Kreider one from that last year, and there was some Newbigin in there too somewhere.

Happy Reading

Keith

[Solly]

Yes, i am getting back into philosophy a bit, after 14 years.

Try this, the only one I could find at ABE (http://dogbert.abebooks.com/servlet/SearchResults?bx=off&sts=t&ds=30&bi=0&an=frank+lake&tn=clinical&sortby=2) pricy though, £43

or here amazon us (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/offer-listing/0824508211/ref=dp_more-buying-choices_2//104-4904553-4731127?condition=all), abridged copy

Eternity and Time: Christopher Dawson and the Catholic Idea of History, Stratford Caldecott & John Morrill, [eds]

I went for the abridged copy in the end. Good condition, less diagrams and case studies but all the meat left in. Now all I have to do is find the time to read it. Quoted some psychology in a sermon last week and was not drummed out of the building - might try that again.

Picked up:

Heaven in ordinarie: Prayer as Transcendance, by Noel Dermot O'Donoghue

WOW!! I just opened it to gaze inside, and see that the foreword references Murdoch's Sovereignty of Good, especially the idea of 'attention' I have mentioned in some other threads. Brilliant!! The book is all about starting with humans as we are made, and going on from there in the spiritual life.

[InspiredHome]

Has anyone read any of the theology books by Hengstenberg? There's one book that is out of print that I'd really like to have (on Christology) but the lowest price online was around $25. I don't know how many were printed and I'd like to find a copy in a used book store if it's not too rare (and much less that $25).

how do you find time to read all that??? I used to buy a lot of books, but i didn't always get a chance to read them (i've got several books with bookmarks in them, half-read, and many more which i haven't even gotten to touch yet). if you can really read that fast i'm very impressed! :)

if not... do you keep them as reference? or backups? or do other people borrow your books?

that said, i think that it was origen who, when complaining about all the other sensual attachments people have, addictions to sex, food, music, the coliseum, collections of all kinds, made a special exemption for his large book collection ;)

[Solly]

A lot are just reference, and are only skimmed; most are read quickly to determine usefulness, then either moved on, or put to one side for re-reading.
Since I don't watch TV, it leaves a lot of room for reading. In the summer i read while walking to work as well.

[followinghim]

I want to know where you store all those books. Just how big is your house ? :teeth:

[Solly]

I haven't got that many, say 800. mostly in boxes at the moment as we are decorating.

[followinghim]

I'm running out of room again. My best bargain recently has been "The Motif of Wonder in the Gospel of Mark" by Timothy Dwyer. It was £55.00 down to £10.00 at http://www.spck.org.uk/ and click on bargain books. :teeth:

Generally well, the youngest [we have three already] still hasn't shaken off the bug that's going around.
