I came across a blog just now that is giving away a few hundred dollars worth of book vouchers through a theology bookstore. You simply need to type in your email address… in theory there will be no spam-emails sent to your address… anyway, I’m in the draw, and if you’d like to be in it too, here is a link.
I’m finding that amazon has been doing pretty well out of me over the last few months… nothing is more exciting than getting into the office and finding a little package on my desk. Right now I am waiting on two books: One by Gorman which I still haven’t read (I really really liked his other two books – I highly recommend him), and the other is John Chrysostom’s homilies on 1 Corinthians. His stuff on 1 Corinthians seems to me to be incredibly insightful. He has now ascended to being my favourite Eastern Patristic… apart from his whole anti-Jewish thing… So anyway if you’re doing substantial work on 1 Corinthians, he is certainly one person worth reading. You can get it all free online if you don’t feel like paying for the print version – just do a google search.

Crysostom is good, but I’ve been battling over whether or not to claim Athanasius or Gregory of Nazianzen as my favorite Eastern father for some time now. The battle continues…
Boy that book giveaway from Challies is really getting around. There is less and less chance of winning with all of the thousands of people entering. He has a drawing for books or DVDs every month. You won’t get spammed, it’s very legit.

Nick: Who would win in a fight? My money’s on Athanasius – he was one feisty father.
Jeff: thousands and thousands?? Okay that’s two bad things that have happened today: 1) No little packages waiting for me in the office; 2) I’m unlikely to win books
Matthew: Definitely Athanasius, although I hear he was rather small in stature. That probably accounts for the feistiness (Napolean complex and whatnot).
