“Reflections on Logos Books and Print Books After Moving”
Phil Gons reflects on advantages of Logos books over print books after moving his his library from South Carolina across the country to Washington. I heartily agree with him!
Cf. “Are E-Books Riskier Than Print Books?” and “How Is an E-Library Superior to a Print Library?” in my review of Scholar’s Library: Gold (Logos Bible Software).
ETS and SBL
This morning I returned home from San Diego, where I attended the annual meetings for the Evangelical Theological Society and the Society of Biblical Literature. I immensely enjoyed the sunny weather in San Diego (where I lived in 1994–1995 and where Jenni and I honeymooned in 2004), seeing and making new friends, and buying and browsing books!
Excuses for “Book Plunder”
The latest post on “Addenda & Errata” (a blog by IVP editors) is hilarious: “Top Ten Things to Say on Returning Home with Conference Book Plunder.” (I already shared the article with my wife, so I won’t be able to use any of these excuses—except for #3—after returning home from ETS and SBL in San Diego!)
Fall 2007 Trinity Journal
Today I helped prepare the fall 2007 Trinity Journal for a bulk mailing, so if you or your library subscribe to the TJ, it should arrive soon. And if you or your library does not subscribe, you can do that here.
I scanned the covers, which display the journal’s content:

Mid-America Conference on Preaching: Oct. 18-19, 2007
The annual Mid-America Conference on Preaching, hosted by Inter-City Baptist Church and Detroit Baptist Theological Seminary, is scheduled for Thursday and Friday, October 18–19, 2007. Dr. Claude Wiggins just emailed this (pasted below with his permission; hyperlinks added):
“We would love to have you join us for the 2007 Mid-America Conference on Preaching. Our theme for this year, ‘Learning from the Past, Pressing toward the Future,’ is a reminder that we are runners in a relay race that began with the Apostles and will continue until our Lord returns. We can’t live looking backward, but if we don’t understand what has happened before us, we’re surely headed for trouble.
“This year’s speakers include Doug McLachlan, Mark Minnick, Sam Horn, David Saxon, David Doran, and the faculty of DBTS. The schedule includes eight general sessions and opportunity to choose from two dozen workshops. Complete conference information, including workshop list, schedule and registration form, is available at http://www.dbts.edu/1-4/1-41.asp.

Rod Decker Is Blogging
I just updated this entry on the “theological writings” page of my recommended resources:
The updated part of the entry is that Rod Decker just started a blog. Decker is a fine NT scholar, so I immediately added his blog to my blogroll. (If that blogger language is foreign to you, see my basic explanation here.)
