Puritan Board Freshman
Awhile back I read a great quote from a theologian of the past (I wish I could remember his name and book it was in) that spoke of the benefit of having a small library and immersing self in those works rather than having a vast library where they are merely flipped through. In university I became very good at skim reading and could pick up the main point of book or article. Also when I first got out of seminary I would buy any book that peaked my interested. Needless to say I have accumulated a lot of unneeded books and am now downsizing my library. I have found that finding those books that you really connect with and reading them deeply is much more beneficial than just casually reading every "good" book you can get hands on. I think especially us in the reformed camp can be guilty of wanting to have every volume from every reformed author. I know both small and big libraries have their advantages and disadvantages and that each person will be different in this regard. What are your personal thoughts, agree or disagree?
p.s. I still love going to a seminary library and basking in the many volumes of divinity.
