How to Build A Theological Library

Is there such a thing as too many theology books? Maybe? Today I’ll be talking about three questions you should ask that might keep you on track for building a helpful library of theology books. You can reach out to me on Twitter @Deanlentini or Instagram @GrumpyBaptist. Soli Deo Gloria! #Theology #TheologyBooks #Library

Very helpful. I can honestly say I do not have any books on my shelf that are not helpful. I've benefited from most as reference works and some I have read through.

A 1, 000? Is that all? That is not a problem bro. Keep collecting and fighting the good fight!!

Stumbled across this video while looking for ideas for new theology books to read! And I’m in the same situation....no room for the ones I have! Lol. Thank you for this video that I can relate too! I’ve subscribed to the channel and looking forward to watching more videos! Keep up the great work!!

Hey, thanks for the video... absolutely honest and love it for that... quite frankly, I found the 4 volume of H B strange too.. However, do try the single volume 'Our Resonable Faith' - I found it absolutely wonderful and a blessing.... do let me know if you did read the single volume 'Our Reasonable Faith' and what your comments on that are... In any case, really appreciated your counsel... If only everybody followed these 3 points (myself included !!) we would have so much less books printed and lesser burdens on our heads, not to mention burdens on our conscience!! God bless.

For me it seems to be Piper. I just can’t stay invested when I’m reading him.

I came across your channel through Tim Frisch's channel. I am now subscribed to your channel.

About the over abundance of theology books. I had that problem at one time but then I thought I over came out when I gave away many many theology books to my friend and neighbor. Then what I did was many of the books I gave away I bought in digital form. Now I have too many digital books. And some of the one volume hardback systematic theology books I gave away I have purchased again. So my friend. I know the struggle. The struggle is real. A great video. I hope to enjoy more videos as you put out more content. God bless brother.

Have you heard of these books? Counsel to Christians by George Muller [great book!], Jehovah Magnified by George Muller [sermons/addresses of George Muller], and Christian in Complete Armor by William Gurnall? The books by George Muller are in the public domain.. so you can just get the pdf.

Is kingdom through covenant good if we want to understand the whole debate around the subject or would you have another recommendation to get a better sense of it?

[shawnharrison]

Rewatching this, and still find it helpful. Again, thanks for the info. Have you considered selling some books that you aren't using / don't want?

[BunnyWatson-kw]

Theology books are like potato chips. You can't just have one.

[cfrost]

I just got my first commentary. I'm planning out others that I want to get.

[zachsmith]

I find myself in a similar situation where I just don't have any shelf space left because of all the books I got during Bible College.

[shawnharrison]

Who's Bavinck?! (Half-joking) I'm not a very good reformed pastor - I don't even have Calvin, haha. Appreciated your video and tips on buying theological books (and books in general). More reviews on helpful theological / ministry books would be a great idea, as LikeAnOwen suggested.

[garypostell]

Well I’m going digital books solved the problem!

[seamusdrumm]

I was wrestling Theologically with something in John Stott's The Cross of Christ and after reading what he said, I felt I had missed something.

[acaswell]

H B did speak Dutch… my library is packed away. With the rest of my library…

[jackvarey]

Hey I know this is off topic but would love to see a review of the John bunyan works 👍🤣

[catrandy]

3500 theology books. Almost all of them are on Kindle. It's cheaper and I can always have all of them with me all of the time.

[SaneNoMore]

Once a book is placed on my shelf, my shelf it will remain on until I die. (Except when I’m using it of course)

[justinjones]

So did that "Kingdom through covenant book" change your mind from dispensational to covenantal? Just curious. I'm kinda of going through something similar
