Indeed they do "normally" do a good job with Scriptures. I am sure you have some books by Reformed Theologians. Anyone who has displayed what you have for the short time you have been here reveals that they have been studious. But, you must follow a careful exegesis of the Scripture. Paul said, [color:blue] The cloke that I left at Troas with Carpus, when thou comest, bring with thee, and the [color:red][i]books</font color=red>, but especially the [color:red]parchments</font color=red></font color=blue>[/i] (2 Timothy 4:13). Now a careful study of this text reveals that [color:red]books</font color=red> and [color:red]parchments</font color=red> is:<br><br><ul>1. "plural", thus indicating that we are to have [color:green]<span style="background-color:yellow;">many</span></font color=green> [color:red]books</font color=red> and [color:red]parchments</font color=red>.<br>2. "older", that is [color:red]books</font color=red> and [color:red]parchments</font color=red> of Paul's time, and thus they are very <span style="background-color:yellow;">[color:green]valuable</span></font color=green>.<br>3. Thus, you should spend MUCH money on [color:red]books</font color=red> (pl), to be biblical and not lose the value of a multi-volume library (spending the equivalent of the value of Paul's library).[/LIST] For some reason my wife does not buy this argument all the time, but it does seem to work well around my birthday.

There are several books that are reviewed on a regular basis by members. This way you get to see the ups and downs of the materials you are reading before you buy. Like Baxter's The Reformed Pastor is a MUST read for any elder, it will bring tears to your heart, but it also has some errors.<br><br>Enjoy!
