Thanks TC.

I think there are different definitions of the word application. I look forward to reading Keener for the first time. In glancing at the first part of the commentary it looks like I will learn a lot.

I’ve dipped my toe in Keener’s NIVAC: Revelation and like it quite a lot. I’ll likely been using it as reference a bit soon as well, as the Lifeway Sunday School curriculum starts hitting the eschatological portions of the Thessalonian letters.The Revelation to John is one NT book that doesn’t immediately come to mind under the the heading of “application”.

Thanks Mike. I put in a search notification. I wonder if it’s going to be a hotter commodity this year.

I’m going to Half Price Books this Wed. to see if I get lucky/blessed.

Jeff, I’d suggest keeping an eye on Ebay from the Battles translation of Calvin. It appears from time to time for a good price.

Nathan I checked out the book you read called Essential English Grammar from the library and am going through it. I just requested more from the library and I'm going to buy whatever I like the best because I know I'll need to brush up now and then. I can usually form a decent sentence but I have almost no knowledge of terms.

I pretty much went through my Wish List and formed those links through Amazon Associates. I thought it would be be more helpful to me and to readers although I don't know if it was worth the time.

Edward I got new reading glasses and they are amazing. Thanks for pointing that out. I'm obviously not good with measurements either.

So far my “library” is less than a 5″ x 3″ book case so compared to all of you book grubbing beggars I should be the grubbiest. With a little beginning-of-the-year-silliness (humor?), I comment that if your bookcase is indeed so small – 5 inches by 3 inches – you must really have to work to insert and remove books!

I don’t keep track of the books I read each year. I also read Fee’s NT Exegesis (2nd ed.) this year and really enjoyed it. I’m curious to know how you are going about learning English grammar? It looks like you have plenty to read so I won’t suggest anything else, but I do have one final question. Where do you find the patience to make all of those hyperlinks?

Praying for your relief from pain, etc. – Nate
