Need more reading material!

[Zecryphon]

I've been reading more of Luther's writings and I am thoroughly enjoying them. Of course, I'm sure DeRev wishes I'd lay off so I'd stop with all the questions.

Which ones are you reading? I'm currently reading the Bondage of the Will.

Kim, those 2 sound really good. Have to check out the library!

Oh MAN, Zec...you couldn't have told me you were reading that? We coulda started a group reading!

*G*

How am I supposed to know what you're reading at the moment? My crystal ball is in the shop this week. LOL I'm not too far into it yet. Let me know if you still wanna do a group reading. I'll bring my Tarot Cards. LOL

I already sent it back to the library though. I figured I enjoyed what I read so much that I'd buy my own copy...someday. *G*

I don't mind at all, Sweety-kins.

I'm also reading The Christian Faith by Robert Kolb and the Book of Concord. Any chance you're reading these as well?

 

[WildStrawberry]

Christian Faith is on my wish list at Amazon. I've been reading the BoC (the Readers edition)

Where are you in the BoC?

That's very sweet of you to consider me!

But, does your Church have a library? Perhaps you could donate it to them?

(not that I'm not appreciative, I AM!! but...*G* I'm all for Church libraries!)

Not officially. There's a portable building with books in it, but I don' that qualifies as a proper library. Oh well. I'll just hold on to it then.

I think the average age in my church is 70 or so. So unless I had the large print edition I don't think anyone could read it, unfortunately. Alright. Anyone else want it?

 

[WildStrawberry]

Well then, if you're going to be offering it up...if no one else wants it, I'll take it. *G*

I'm never one to pass up a book! Let me know what you want for it and I'll PM you my details.

I don't want anything for it. Just send me the PM. But if you feel too guilty about taking a book for free, send me whatever you think is fair.

 

[WildStrawberry]

You're a sweetheart, Zec!

PM sent after this...*G*

Kae

 

[Zecryphon]

Awww! You're welcome Kae.

 

[WildStrawberry]

Okay, here's a question for you all...

As conservative Lutherans, how far would you trust things from Augsburg Press? Or Fortress? Is there anything from there that is good to read?

Kae

 

[Zecryphon]

I've never ordered anything from Augsburg so I have no opinion one way or the other. I'd need some proof of dishonesty before not trusting them.

 

[WildStrawberry]

well, my Kolb/Wengert translation of the BoC is from Fortress Press. But I just received a book I bought from Amazon about "My conversations with Martin Luther" and...well it seems a bit dicey...

Kae

 

[WildStrawberry]

Oh yeah, and what are you reading next in the BoC? If I can find a copy of Bondage tomorrow, I'll grab it and maybe Porter, you, me and anyone else who wants to join in can have a discussion on it.

That and the BoC. I think it's a great idea to read and have people to discuss these things with.

Kae

It depends on the product. I absolutely hate their confirmation materials because they really push the women as pastors thing and open communion.

I take everything from Augsburg Fortress with a rather large grain of salt.

Kae, I finished Leonardo's Chair. Fast read, interesting story, but a bit creepy in places.

I have a couple Star Wars adventures from the library to finish. Then back to Why I am a Lutheran and that church history. I'm about at the beginnings of the papacy and the causes of the split between Catholic/Orthodox. At the end of every chapter there's a list of suggested reading about whatever the chapter's topic was. Bondage of the Will is on my list.

And I'm on Leviticus in NASB and Deuteronomy in ESV. Straight through in one and going back & forth between OT and NT in the other.

I frequently have more than one book going at a time.
