One thing it looks like you may not have much of which I have found extremely beneficial are study aids covering biblical times and their customs and cultures. Alfred Edersheim, Lois Tyverberg, Kenneth Bailey, Amy Jill Levine, Larry Hurtado are all great in my opinion.

@@classicchristianliterature Dear sir, we are not here to discuss your many errors in stripping bare the designer's most illustrious and beautiful artwork, which serves no practical purpose. If the book was to be left without a dustcover, then the creator would not have made one. The mere fact that Bavinck's Wonderful Works of God still has a dust cover on it is an admission of your guilt. No, thou shalt recant and properly cover books!

Very nice library and run-down. I was waiting to see what church fathers books you had but i didnt see any. No Augustine even? Seems like you are a little thin on church history but you may have all these somewhere else?

I have a relatively large collection of Bible study aids, theology books, etc. too, and can you believe we only have three of the same books? 🤷

@@classicchristianliterature Lately I've been going to an AG church, but I just call myself a "charismatic with a seatbelt". LOL The three that I also have are A Body of Divinity, The Rise and Triumph of the Modern Self, and Grudem's Systematic Theology. (Craig Keener is one of my favorite theologians.) A few others that I'd recommend (which transcend denominational lines) are The Christian In Complete Armor by William Gurnall, Critical Dilemma by Neil Shenvi/Pat Sawyer, and Precious Remedies Against Satan's Devices by Thomas Brooks.

Do you have any works by David Pawson?

@@accordio321 I do not actually. Reading his bio, seems like he was greatly used by Christ. Many reformed folks like myself seem to like him even though he would not fall into our camp. He has some book that’s massive (1300 pages), do you have that one?

@@classicchristianliterature This is reformed? “The consent of peoples and nations keeps me in the Church; so does her authority, inaugurated by miracles, nourished by hope, enlarged by love, established by age. The succession of priests keeps me, beginning from the very seat of the Apostle Peter, to whom the Lord, after His resurrection, gave it in charge to feed His sheep, down to the present episcopate. And so, lastly, does the name itself of Catholic, which, not without reason, amid so many heresies, the Church has thus retained; so that, though all heretics wish to be called Catholics, yet when a stranger asks where the Catholic Church meets, no heretic will venture to point to his own chapel or house.”

@@classicchristianliterature So even though our Lord said the gates of hell would not prevail against the church, those whom had fellowship with the apostles themselves and those succeeding the apostles just didn’t “understand the gospel” But a man over a millennia later did? You’re beyond deceived.
