    Sure, anytime, Leolaia. Just don't let my wife try to talk you into taking them off my hands.

    As for the Bottings book, buy it. They're hard to come by.

    As for TDNT, check with CBD pricing before you buy. They often have sales for about $300.

    Dang, I thought I won for the smallest religious library but Dustin beat me.

    I didn't count anything else that wasn't a religion book.

    Heatmiser, that's cause I took all of my JW books and put them in a box. I then took the box and dropped it off on the Kingdom Hall steps. I made sure to write my name in every single book, just so they got the message. Haven't seen one of them since. I really don't have any other books.

    AlanF....Thanks for the tip! I checked the website, and it turns out that TDNT's on CDROM, and I think I might spring for that one of these days; certainly preferrable than having 10 volumes fill up shelves and it is searchable too...

    Leolaia:

    AlanF....*drooling* Can I stay at your house and just lose myself in your library? Sounds amazing!

    A fair majority of Alan's books are in his basement and attic crawlspaces...multiple copies, lined up side-by-side, like little plastic soldiers.

    Are you sure you want to go there?

    LOL

    Classicist, why all the Bible books man, shouldn't you have a Maxim or an FHM in there somewhere? Polycarp might get a little lonely without an Angelina in some lingerine to snuggle up with

    Anywho, despite the crude humor I often-times emit on this site I do own a few theological works ...my collection may pale in comparison to Leo's or Alan's but for the record I do own

    1.) One large copy of the NWT in genuine cowhide with my name emblazoned on the front

    2.) Peter Gomes' "The Good Book"

    3.) C.S. Lewis' "The Screwtape Letters"

    4.) Strong's Exhaustive Concordance of the Bible (which looks out of place sitting next to all the gay erotica)

    5.) The Gospel According to Biff

    6.) and....various works by David Hume, Plato, Calvin, Kirkegaard, etc.....

    ...there...
