We share the same (wretched) post office. What a very interesting press they are. They're obviously fans of Charles Williams. I recognize numerous of their older additions on the apocrypha/pseudepigrapha, both OT and NT. Maybe I'll stop by and say hello.<br /><br />I'll have to bump the Bouteneff up in the queue. I nearly picked it up in my last Amazon plundering expedition, but the release (finally!) of <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Apocalyptic-Thought-Christianity-Patristic-Theology/dp/0801036275/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1244494154&sr=1-1" rel="nofollow"><i>Apocalyptic Thought in Early Christianity</i></a>, which I'd been waiting for, distracted me.<br /><br />I must insist that you cease listing all these interesting-looking books. I think I shall otherwise end up eating only rice (dry) and living in a hut constructed of the books I've bought at Aaron Taylor's recommendation.Kevin P.

Your Hexaemeron by St. Anastasius of Sinai and the two ACCS volumes on Genesis are also important texts when considering Genesis.<br /><br />I grew up in a strictly creationist church (WELS) and have need of greater reflection on the creation accounts in Genesis. I appreciate Fr. Seraphim and Platina's work regarding evolution, but there is a purely patristic context that allows for a non-literal reading of Genesis - which sola Scriptura Protestants are not allowed without ceasing to be such.<br /><br />So, I have found the book challenging in the same way textual criticism of the Bible is challenging to me. I'm not quite sure what to make of it, not quite sure who I should trust, not quite sure there is as little danger as Orthodox devotees of either position/discipline seem to accept, but find that it is important to understand so as to better understand the intellectual critiques that can drive or keep people outside of the Church.123https://www.blogger.com/profile/14514075641944568806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6714437334790446678.post-53759938213972062082009-06-08T10:41:19.344-05:002009-06-08T10:41:19.344-05:00"The pleasure of reading is doubled when one ..."The pleasure of reading is doubled when one lives with another who shares the same books."<br /><br />Katherine Mansfield+Metropolitan SAVAS of Pittsburghhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04508393042893425734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6714437334790446678.post-26821914680401511622009-06-07T22:25:31.498-05:002009-06-07T22:25:31.498-05:00Please do: and I must say your bookshelves must be...Please do: and I must say your bookshelves must be groaning under the weight of such tomes...
