窮傳道,有獎中?

還是不很相信我也竟然有獎中!

話說一向有讀James Spinti 的Idle musings of a bookseller。他是Eisenbrauns(專買古代近東文化和聖經研究的書商)的Marketing Director。早前他說Eisenbrauns會送書,連郵費也貼埋!於是我留心Eisenbrauns本身的RSS。誰知昨天真的出現送書的通知:只要是首30名email給他的人,就會記上新書一本,包郵費!

總覺得不做就對不住自己的我,當然馬上彈上電郵一封。

誰知今天早上竟收到回覆說我中了獎!(是否橋段「警訊」得很?)

為了心安,回上郵寄地址外,還多口問句是不是「愚人節」的前戲?我還要求對方告訴我他們寄出甚麼書給我。

及後又真的有回覆:

Edmund,

Not an April Fool's joke. Here's a link to the book I am sending you:

Can you tell me which book I will receive?

(this is not an pre-April Fool's joke right?)

Edmund.


電郵中所說的是Damon W.K. So(蘇偉軍)的新書,這是作者簡介:

Damon W.K. So serves as an adviser of the Oxford Chinese Christian Church having studied at London Bible College and the University of Oxford.

這是簡介:

This book explores the trinitarian dynamics in the context of Jesus' revelation of his Father in his earthly ministry with references to key passages in Matthew?s Gospel. It develops from the exegeses of these passages a non-linear concept of revelation which links Jesus' communion with his Father to his revelatory words and actions through a nuanced understanding of the Holy Spirit, with references to K. Barth, G.W.H. Lampe, J.D.G. Dunn and E. Irving.

玩到這裡,我想,就算是「愚人節」的整蠱也真的有誠意吧!

好, 就看看這位窮傳道是否真的有獎中?!
