Bring the Books and Above All the Parchments

26 Apr

So wrote Paul to Timothy in his second letter. The text was brought to mind during a listen to an interview Dr. Albert Mohler had with Robert Darnton. Among his many positions and roles, Darnton is the director or the Harvard University Library. Which means his daily duties surround many books. The primary reason for the interview was to discuss Darton’s book “The Case for Books: Past, Present, and Future” (New York: NY Public Affairs. 2009). 

With the the future of the “codex” (from “The Gutenberg Bible” to “Tuesday”s With Morrie”) seemingly defunct due to digital media, the two men discuss Darnton’s book and the future of the traditional book. I really recommend this podcast to anyone who has a love for books and the future of books.

Monergism Launches eBooks

20 Nov

If you are like me in searching for some great theology, church history, and Christian living books for your new text device like Kindle or iBooks? Then look no further. Monergism Books has just launched their eBooks eCommerce site.

Monergism Books has been providing great reformation resources for many years. They began as a website providing resources as a directory of theology including sermon text and audio. The have since expanded to an eCommerce site providing books, DVD’s, CD,s and software. Last year Monergism took the risky step of opening a brick and mortar business in Portland, Oregon. Monergism has been a wealth of resources over the years for folks like myself who are interested in learning about the reformed doctrine, church history, and gospel-centered theology. In closing I will post the about statement found on the web site.

Monergism Books is a Reformed Christian Internet bookseller with the goal of equipping Christians in the truth by making available the finest classic resources of historical orthodoxy. This is done in the hope that the church will embrace, and recover a Christ-centered gospel and the true Biblical doctrines of the historic faith.
