However,...

    Thrifty Thursday – Building a Cheap Library
    In an earlier post, I talked about why it was important for the seminarian to start building a good library (you can read the post here).  In this post, I want to talk about how to build up a library when you don’t have much cash. The first tip I can give you is to know your favorite scholars and writers.  When you know that you like commentaries by writer A, and you...
