Wow! I am from India. I cannot imagine a building a library like this in India. You guys are truly blessed! Just praying that God will provide something similar to this. I work a regular full time job and don't even have separate home. Hope the next generation sees something like this!

I could very easily spend the rest of my life in your library, and be the happiest man on earth !

The way you have it set up seems like you should be able to study in there pretty easy. I love I just started building me a little library myself, been saved about 4 years so I'm still trying to figure out what kind of material to study to keep growing and this library tour gave me great Thanks and God bless you Pastor

❤ this library tour. Very informative. Find myself drawn back to watching it every so often. Bless you, brother.

That's a lot of books about Pasture, i didn't realize raising cattle was so complicated.

Fascinating. It seems to be mainly those in some sort of Reformed tradition who have such large libraries. Many pastors don't have a lot of interest in theology, and many could never afford to purchase so many books. It's very unusual also to be able to read so many languages!
An impressive collection of Puritan writers, too. Surprised to hear N T Wright described as 'liberal' and as an 'enemy' when his writing would likely be characterized as 'conservative' by many in the theological world.

Thank you for the tour! I never really realized how much thought and work goes into a Pastor's sermons. It just seems so effortless! I really appreciate what you men of God do for us! thank you and may God continue to bless you in His ministry through you! 😇 ~Sylvia

You have a lovely library. I'm pleased to see that you have Jeremiah Burroughs on your shelf. I have found his Gospel series to be very inspirational.

[timothygudz]

This is a massive blessing. Thank you, brother!!

[jeffhunter]

Awesome. I realized I will have to live to I am 670 years old to read everything on my list.

I think it woukd be stunning if you got the Billy bookcase extention at the top to make it reach the ceiling, and store all the books you have on top.
And a rug would also make it super cozy

It is interesting when you show the book " a way to pray by mathew henry" then I remember the simplicity of Lords prayer by our Lord. I think we humans like to make stuff complicated. But nice library.

[shacharias]

You might find Ernst Bloch's writings of interest, particularly his three-volume "The Principle of Hope."

[pinedelgado]

You are a true blue pastor and theologian, Dr. Johannsson!! You have quite a library and I am so impressed!!! You'd probably make Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI blush with delight because HE has an impressive personal theology library, as well. In fact, your video presentation almost makes me want to go and acquire a whole lot of books online about theology!! By the way, I admire your demeanor as a man of the cloth. You seem like the man of God who would let people decide for themselves whether or not to follow Jesus Christ and who doesn't pressure people or guilt-trip them into accepting Him as their Savior like some people I've seen on TV or have encountered in my personal life. :) :)

Love your grammar books, I'm a Bible & language geek myself.

[e.m.]

That Stone Chumash is a great resource.

[mauricehatton]

Yes, I've enjoyed it. Thanks for your detailed review.

[orglancs]

I am not a believer, but am impressed with the massive linguistic section of your books. Do all pastors study the ancient languages of the bible to such an extent, or is that just a personal interest of yours? My own library has an equally large linguistic input, but they are all books and dictionaries of modern spoken languages.

[TJ_-rutv]

there are so many good teachers there. Honestly a bit overwhelming.

[TaterScotts]

As a Seminarian, I was completely caught off guard by the "know thy enemy slight". It's sad to hear a pastor describe another Christian as an enemy. We all worship the same Lord, we just have different approaches to him, the same for other faiths. If you are trying to know thy enemy, I would implore you to read closer some of those "enemies". John Shelby Spong, Wendy Farley, and Father Richard Rohr would be a great place to start.
