My Q1 book purchase

Well, consider Jesus and the Eyewitnesses was received on Dec 1 of last year, it has been over 3 months since my last major book purchase. What am I getting this time? Take a look at the list below. And if you are smart enough, you might be able to guess what I am trying to do next!

  1. Rob Bell, Sex God: Exploring the Endless Connections Between Sexuality And Spirituality
  2. Craig A. Evans, Jesus and His Contemporaries: Comparative Studies
    • This is to further my study on Jesus as compare to other "Messiahs", "Sages" and "Teachers" in Second Temple Judaism. It is important to understand our Lord by compare and contrast with his contemporaries.
  3. Gordon D. Fee, God's Empowering Presence: The Holy Spirit in the Letters of Paul
    • As my Galatians class is drawing to a close, I feel more and more compel to do a full survey on Paul's Pneumatology. I think this is another MAJOR aspect of studies which is so unfortunately ignored by Chinese churches due of its Charismatic tendency.
  4. Gordon D. Fee, Pauline Christology: An Exegetical-Theological Study
  5. Marc Weissbluth, Healthy Sleep Habits, Happy Child
    • Cc told me this book was recommended by Dr. Philemon Choi in one of his parenting workshops. It is something which we are hoping to help Jocelyn develop.

    I got sex god too, read the first chapter, but didn’t have time to continue because of my school work. Perhaps we can compare thoughts afterwards =)

    My school’s bookstore also have those 2 gordon fee books at 30% off. You think it’s a good deal? They look a bit intimidating to me though…almost 2 inches thick…..

    Well, I think you have enough books to digest at school. Amazon.com has 34% off, but you have to add the postage, so I guess it is still a good deal at Regent.

    2 inches thick books are not intended to be read from cover to cover. But do bear in mind that God’s Empowering Presence was first published in 1994, and yet its depth and breadth are still unparalleled after 13 years.

    It is THAT good.
