100 VOLUMES ON THE BOOK OF JOB 1840 - 2002 COMMENTARY

UPDATE: SOLD on 8/28/07

Here's a very nice lot of commentaries I found for sale on ebay. I would imagine that a college or seminary library would be the best home for these volumes (especially considering the value), but maybe one of my readers would be able to afford this. Maybe you know of someone who could. Anyway, I don't know the fellow selling these books, and I don't get any kickbacks for announcing this. But I couldn't pass up the opportunity to share this with you. What follows is from his description of the auction:

Here’s an unusual, maybe once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for somebody...

I decided to thin way down my Book of Job library which was quite extensive, and this is the result. It's is an awful lot of books on Job, but if you are building a comprehensive Biblical Studies library, personal or institutional, or just love Job, well then maybe this lot is for you. If the lot doesn’t sell this week, I will list the books individually next week. There are many rare works here, some almost impossible to obtain. Some titles I have only seen one copy of, and they are here. There are a number that would cost you from $50 to $200 each, if you could even find them for sale anywhere.

All have something profound to say about the marvelous book of Job, and the approaches and applications are nearly endless. No fluff here. Some are expositions and others explore the theology of suffering, the human condition, and God's ways with man - a little bit of everything. Commentators from the US, England, Canada, Scotland and Israel are represented here. The publication dates run from the 1840s to 2002, the majority being old and out-of-print. Most of the books are in Very Good to Excellent condition, with tight bindings and bright spine lettering (not ALL, but MOST)

It took me about 10 years and lots of $ to accumulate all these titles, and what I am offering them for here is less than half of what I paid for them. There are 100 volumes (99 titles), and almost all are hardbacks. The few paperbacks are towards the end of the list and are marked PB. I am first offering them as one lot for $999.95 Easy for everybody that way. I am not making any deals on this lot. and I will not respond to any email offers wanting me to sell cheaper. I will however answer all emails concerning condition, content, or publishing info on any particular title(s). (click here to view the list of titles)
