It's about that time to order some new books. The following are on my short list...any thoughts? Where do you order books from?

Mostly Amazon. They typically have what I'm after these days. Sometimes I have to go off the beaten track but it's never anywhere in particular; just a Google search and the best possible option.

 

[AtWhatCost]

My library. I live in Philly, so have access to most books I'd like to read. And then if it's a keeper? Then Amazon looking for used books. (We ran out of room for more books a couple of decades ago. lol)

 

[SinnerInTheHands]

Banner of Truth. It's an indispensable site for Calvinist theology.

Otherwise, ChristianBook or Amazon.

Amazon. Mainly because I am big on kindle, but even physical books i find Amazon is best.

I've shopped for Reformed books from Cumberland Valley Bible Book Service. They're not far from where I live so I get the books quickly. But I prefer digital editions so I go to the Kindle store first.

Dogen Zenji

JM, He's Buddhist not Baptist.

Something tells me this is not really about where to order books.

 

[Eryk]

I read an excerpt of Dogen in Kapleau's Three Pillars of Zen and it was really.. zen.

 

[JM]

Actually, now that you mentioned it…it’s not really about where to purchase books.

I’m in convo with some Presbyterian brothers about theology and paedobaptism is a topic we discuss often. So yes, it’s not really about where to buy books, it’s about becoming more familiar with covenant theology in general, and credobaptist theology specifically, that prompted the question. To equip myself for the task I would like to purchase more books on the subject to make dialoguing more fruitful.

Dogen Zenji has been on my list for a while but the two volume work is just too expensive and, not surprisingly, (tongue in cheek) agrees with the paedo’s.

I have to strike his name off the list! haha

Westminster Theological Seminary bookstore

All good recommendations. The Canadian dollar isn't so great right now so I'm hoping to find a stellar deal or a Canadian Co.

Be careful with Mr. Johnson. He takes the erroneous view that the Mosaic covenant is a republication to Israel of one strain of that covenant, which is ultimately fulfilled by Christ. From there anti-paedobaptistic arguments flow. It is all very Klinean.

 

[JM]

Thanks AMR for the warning but I think Baptists tend to believe in republication. I know I do. Before I read Pink and later Coxe I called my view of the covenants "modified" covenant theology but after looking at the subject historically I found I wasn't alone, plenty of 17th century Protestants held to republication, anticredobaptists and credobaptists. ;-)

Yours in the Lord.
