my library

[Aloysius]

I'm builiding up quite a library here... but there's one thing that would absolutely MAKE IT or BREAK IT... one thing that I'm not sure I can live without getting into this library soon.

can you get... like... a 21 book set; with all the documents of all 21 ecumenical councils? preferably in hard cover? how expensive do you think that would be?

I'd seriously be willing to drop a couple hundred bucks on that.

[iggy]

wow, i don't know.

[Aloysius]

I have the flimsy all-document Vatican II red book...

but I would like that VII book in my lib alot better if it were sitting next to the other 20. and then I would so read them ALL cover to cover... I probably wouldn't sleep or eat...

alas, you are far greater than me (big surprise, i know)

It is expensive, and that is why I don't own it.

P.S. - Sadly the translation is somewhat affected by socalled "inclusive language."

[Aloysius]

woooah... so are they all in one book or are there 21 books? is it absolutely positively everything? I thought it'd end up even pricier than that... I'd be willing to buy that if it was EVERYTHING...

Here is a good website on the Ecumenical Councils:

I prefer books as well.

[Apotheoun]

The member price at BN.com is a little better than the sale price at Amazon.com.

[Apotheoun]

You might go to your local library, or to a university library near you, in order to look through the book and see if it is worth purchasing. Because it is rather expensive.

[Aloysius]

shouldn't I just take the word of "Mike, doctrinal student of theology" on the Barnes N Noble site? lol

I could get my Barnes N Noble order it in for me, they don't require you to actually buy it cause if you don't buy it it just goes on their shelves

LOL, certainly you can trust Mike if you want to.

The only reason I personally would try and look through the book before buying it, is because I have heard that the translator used "inclusive language." I have a major aversion to so-called "gender neutral" language, which I see as a form of English that is motivated by a non-Christian anthropology.
