Seeing books makes me hungry for books. Especially if they are long, and sturdily-bound, and well-printed, and are well worth reading. Thank you very much for making this video.
You need some of my former professor of Jurisprudence and Apologetics, Dr. John Warwick Montgomery who's ordained in the Missouri Synod. Check out writings as they're definitely worth adding to your library. The flock needs to be trained in sound doctrine and apologetics.
Do you have the hodge podge of Lutheran Hymnal or service books that have been released (the most well known are TLH, SBH, LBW, LW, LSB & ELW as well as supplement books, HS98, WOV, and a very recent supplement to ELW. Which hymn book does the AALC use?
Bibles at 0:29. I collect different Bible translations too. If you want really good versions try the Cambridge University Press editions. They can get expensive though given the quality of their Bibles.
Thanks for that tour of your office! I have been seeing those books often in your video, wondering what they would be in a close-up shot. I tend to do that with any videos, religiously, politically, musically oriented or whatever and most do NOT ever identify them to use curious onlookers. I have islands of books on related subjects (music theory, Lutheran reference works, study Bibles, Marxism, etc., but not even those comprehensively grouped. My huge personal library mostly is chaortically shelved! I admire that you have your books more systematically discposed to quick reference! I am curious not to see some titles, for example the 3-volume "Encyclopedia of the Lutheran Church", which is such a monument and so comprehensive in achieving its aims. "Chacun à son goût!.
Hey, I was raised lutheran, but have had problems with the denomination-mainly the crux theologorum. In my journey out and back to Luther I have developed ideas of my beliefs. I believe in divine simplicity which is to say that God has no division in his substance. His essence is his existence. Is this a possible view to be had in the Lutheran faith? I would defend my position with Exodus 3:14.
This question will probably come off very ignorant: why did you take out the second command in the Ten Commandments? “You shall not make for yourself an idol, or any likeness of what is in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the water under the earth. You shall not worship them or serve them; for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children, and on the third and the fourth generations of those who hate Me, but showing lovingkindness to thousands, to those who love Me and keep My commandments.” - Deuteronomy 5:8-10
You mentioned you have books of the two kingdoms. I would highly recommend purchasing “the sure word of prophecy” by Dr. Peter S. Ruckman. His book explaining the two kingdoms is the best I’ve ever seen.
Do you happen to know of any place that still sells the 38 volume Church Fathers set? I have been trying to find it for sale and it looks like the publisher stopped selling it (even though it's an extremely important collection of Christian writings regardless of which tradition one comes from).
Try ABE (Advanced Book Exchange). It connects you with a world-wide network of booksellers, both new and second-hand titles. I have acquired some really rare titles through them, though you have to be patient and keep at it. One title took me twenty years to find! Good luck.
The H at the foot of each volume shows that they are published by Hendrickson Publishers. This seems to be one of the series in the photo in the video: www.hendrickson.com/html/product/31161.trade.html?&category=all. It seems that Hendrickson is reprinting a 19th-century, British-American, translation of the Fathers. It will be out of date in some details, but it has full of useful notes. It is (FWIW) a Protestant translation. On the whole, I think it would be well worth getting. Though it is a bit on the expensive side, as one might expect. It is old, so somewhat out of date, but still useful. The link shows a series of 14 volumes. Altogether, there are 38 volumes, in at least 3 series. Though whether the other 24 are still in print, I don’t know.
I was a bit surprised to see all your Star Wars memorabilia. Instinctively it didn't resonate with me as being compatible with Christianity. I haven't actually watched any of the Star Wars films I should add so I'm only going on what others have said, but I've just read the following for instance on the CRI website: “For nearly forty years, the Star Wars motion picture saga has captivated audiences the world over. With three new films on the horizon, Star Wars remains culturally relevant and iconic. Its music, sounds, visual effects, characters, and extensive merchandising resonate with millions of people. But technical brilliance and commercial success do not always equate with truth. The Star Wars worldview may at first glance appear to support Christian morality, such as the reality of good and evil, the search for meaning and redemption, and the pursuit of virtue. In reality, however, Star Wars is replete with non-Christian worldview concepts, including elements of Gnosticism, Taoism, Hinduism, Buddhism, Eastern meditation, occultism, and moral relativism. Star Wars, for instance, posits a yin-yang balance of opposing powers, which it calls “the Force”-a prominent thread in the films that has much in common with Taoism. Monistic pantheism is another element of the Star Wars movies that, in this case, borrows heavily from Hinduism. Moreover, aspects of the occult are prevalent in the Star Wars films and infuse various discussions and training involving the Force. Occult elements of Star Wars include telepathy, telekinesis, mind reading, and spiritism, to name a few. In addition, when it comes to its epistemology, Star Wars roots knowledge firmly in the realm of subjective feelings, urging viewers with pithy admonitions such as, “Feel, don’t think.” Far from being Christian, the Star Wars worldview is, on multiple levels, diametrically opposed to Christianity. The films may be entertaining, but the claims they make about faith, reality, knowledge, and morality do not correspond with truth.” Given that the above is true it follows that you're unwittingly endorsing something which is harmful to your faith, and which simply on its own can account for your ongoing anxiety for which you take medication as you explained in your Faith and Mental Health Issues video.
@@tylerkroenke7066 I wasn’t suggesting that Christians are likely to change their theology because they’d seen a few Star Wars movies but I do believe that those who aren’t Christians can be influenced to adopt Eastern philosophical world views because of being introduced to them through films and other media. No doubt the majority think as you do that Star Wars and similar films are just a bit of harmless fun and that those who object to them are taking them far too seriously. However I have to disagree. The Bible warns us not to be involved with anything to do with the occult (Deuteronomy 18:9-14) and that’s because the power behind these practices comes from Satan. Evil Spirits are constantly endeavouring to lead people away from God and into magical ways of thinking because through these ideas they can lead them into trying forbidden practices and gain entry into their souls. As Christians we shouldn’t be aiding the dark powers of this world but should separate ourselves from anything which is anti-Christian and that includes forms of entertainment. Also if a Christian is mistakenly thinking that he’s not going to be affected by what he regards as just a bit of harmless fun then he should think again. The Holy Spirit will be trying to lead him to see the error of his ways, and if the only way of doing that is to withdraw and let the person suffer from attacks from evil spirits in the form of panic attacks etc. then that’s what’ll happen.
Hello thank you I like very much Luther commentary on galatians John Stott The cross of Christ Spurgeon sermons on the cross of Christ The listener must " see" the cross like the hebrews the serpent of brass... robert lewis Dabney : Christ our penal Substitute John 3 :14

Very cool!! (I'm belatedly taking the tour - lol) I'm glad people asked for this & that you so graciously complied - TY!!
The books are definetely exciting!
The mix of Reformed and Star Wars literature has earned you a subscription 😛
This is impressive sir. I wish I have something like this someday.

THE books to read..Helpful video..

This is an interesting idea and it would be fun to see other thinkers do this. Perhaps you can do a talk on philosophy and Star Wars?
Religion for Breakfast actually has a few videos on that subject.
🤣 I can’t believe this happened!
No Kretzmann's commentaries?

Did Luther write a book similar to John Calvin? & Did they influenced from Aquinas?
Woah woah. You mentioned Kylo and Rey but not Revan! The Star Wars nerd in me is offended.
What are the top books you would recommend for a senior in high school who is studying theology?

Samuel LoCicero lol wut. Ruckman was a nut.
Do you like Stephen Wellum's book on Christology?
Do you happen to know of any place that still sells the 38 volume Church Fathers set? I have been trying to find it for sale and it looks like the publisher stopped selling it (even though it's an extremely important collection of Christian writings regardless of which tradition one comes from).
Try looking on Amazon
I got mine at the CBD warehouse sale about 10 years ago. I'm not sure where they are available now.

Yep, you have quite the collection of graven images.
