Book Giveaway: 1 per continent

September 9, 2012 by Matthew R. Malcolm

To celebrate the release of my book The World of 1 Corinthians: An Annotated Visual and Literary Source Commentary, I have decided to give away a copy to one lucky person on each continent, including Antarctica. For non-Antarctic continents, the proviso is that it has to be a country for which http://www.thebookdepository.com or http://www.thebookdepository.co.uk offer free delivery.

I still haven’t actually seen the book myself. So maybe I shouldn’t have been so quick to poke fun at book endorsements in my previous post – I don’t yet know what appears on my own book. Nevertheless, the book seems to be out, so I’ll purchase a few and give ‘em away.

Here are the rules:

Make a comment on this post, indicating your continent (if you are incontinent, I don’t want to know about it)
Mention this giveaway on your own blog or facebook or twitter or telephone or telegraph or morse code

I will choose winners by a particular method of my devising. Cryptotheology is an equal opportunity prize awarder.

Also, using continents is a nice step to defeating ethnocentrism….

North America… and one who appreciates the finer points of Aussie-double hard boiled eggs on a Theological blog.

Are sisters-in-law allowed to enter? I posted about it on Facebook anyway because I have some friends who might be interested. I was surprised to see someone else in Malaysia already reply!

Of course! The more the merrier

North America. I’ll write you a nuanced book review (I have too many graduate courses in biblical studies to count, including two courses focused exclusively on the Pauline letters) to go on my blog (http:///www.lifeloveliturgy.com) if I am the lucky winner. It looks intriguing!

Man have I been waiting for this book! I have tweeted facebooked and blogged the giveaway. I’ll enter for Australia and Antartica because Adelaide is pretty close to Antarctica! Also, I am entering this not for myself but for a friend about to commence their PHD in this area.

Thanks for the interest all… And it’s nice to see a couple of attempts at dual-continent status. I’ll give it a little more time for further entries. After all, I STILL haven’t seen a real live hard copy of the book myself yet…
