Eerdmans Order Has Arrived!
The Eerdmans order that the seminary placed has arrived. One of my colleagues, while sorting out the books, commented that books with "strange" titles would have most likely belonged to my order. Well, I can't blame him. Who else would order books such as "Greed as Idolatry" or "Recovering Paul's Mother Tongue" or "Qumran and Apocalypticism"?

"fast" buying books? From my personal experiences, this will not work! Trust it or not?
Perng Shyang,
Haha...I only say for "sometime" mah...maybe 1 week, 1 month??
My "sometime" is officially 6 months. So I can only buy again in Oct 08. Q is will it work?!!!
And I am forcing myself not to look at your books, arrrgghh!! already spotted a couple I want.
I true love for books is the Kar Yong that I know from GCTS days. Enjoy the books my friend! Sheryl
*gasp*... you got Charlesworth's Jesus & Archaeology! I have been preventing myself not to get it for the past 4 months from SKS, a local bookshop.
Good selection :)
Hi Pearlie,
hmm....let's see....the good news is that eerdmans order is only offered once a year....!
Hi Sheryl,
Thanks for dropping by! Nice to hear from you again.
JW,
I actually plan to visit SKS while I am in Singapore next week - but I think the packed conference schedule would prevent me from doing so - I think this is good news.
I would have been poorer had I attended O'Brien's class before the order due date. A sense of mixed feeling right now.
