Books again....
I know. It's only mid-April and I have already exhausted more than 2/3 of my book allowance for the year. And by the end of next month, the entire year's allowance will be GONE!
Davinci, In times of economic crisis, cash in king. Likewise, in biblical studies, text is king! To me, one cannot do theological studies without grounding oneself in the text - hence my passion in NT studies. It is only after one is grounded in the text, then one can then do proper "theologizing."
I do read and talk "theology"...but maybe not that obvious...Hahaha...I will leave that to my good friend, Mg Kam Weng, to do the talking...Haha
Oh My! That Dunn is SGD$124 here at SKS! The last copy already being reserved by someone by the name like 'Desmond Tin' or something like that. I'm curious to find out who is afford to buy and read that!
Wow, Dunn's book is on your bookshelf! Heard some good reviews of it by Scot Mcknight. I have the first installment but haven't got luck at landing in with the second one. I'm hoping to bump into it anytime soon if i'm lucky.

Hi Sze Zeng,
Wow!! That's so expensive. Jaw dropped! I got Dunn's book for less than half the price you quoted thru STM Bookservices.

Hi Tremonti,
Yes! It is on my shelf, and hope for it to be on my desk by next month, to be devoured. !
