Library Loot–November 30 to December 6

badge-4Library Loot is a weekly event co-hosted by Claire from The Captive Reader and Marg from The Adventures of an Intrepid Reader that encourages bloggers to share the books they’ve checked out from the library.

If you’d like to participate, just write up your post-feel free to steal the button-and link it using the Mr. Linky any time during the week. And of course check out what other participants are getting from their libraries!

This week it’s hosted by Marg (where you will find the linky).


Only one item this week – I am being prudent after last weeks haul.  I caught a couple of episodes of Warehouse 13: Season One at a friends place.  It shows some promise and I am happy to note appears to have gone to a 3rd season.  So I borrowed it through interlibrary loan only to find that its actually on free to air television.  I am watching it in chronological order though.

I like it for a number of reasons

  1. Strong believable female lead
  2. Steampunk styling
  3. It hasn’t received the Firefly treatment.
  4. It feels like an American Torchwood.

 

Here’s the intro to Season 1 that will give you the “feel” of the show.

To answer your question on my blog: No, Sean, I'm not familiar with Robert Price. I checked online and see that he's written about the gospel of Thomas -- I have several books about that gospel, including Beyond Belief by Elaine Pagals. Which of Robert Price's books do you like?

I'd like to read Bart Ehrman's 2011 book The Orthodox Corruption of Scripture: The Effect of Early Christological Controversies on the Text of the New Testament. Even those of us with degrees in textual analysis are interested in his books.

Have you read any of John Shelby Spong's books? I'm more than halfway through his Re-Claiming the Bible for a Non-Religious World that I got last week: http://bonniesbooks.blogspot.com/2011/11/spong-an...

Thanks for popping over to my blog Bonnie. I have Price's De-constructing Jesus, but I did find it very dense. I have heard him talk on a couple of occasions and he's easy to digest in that format.

I do prefer Ehrman. I haven't read any Spong but then I have probably moved along from the questioning/investigation of my religion of birth. I do still enjoy the history aspect of things but I am a humanist now and don't really see much value in continually examining the bible as a guide book for life. I try to be hands on in community service and be broader in my philosophical outlook. But I will check out the link :)
