What is your opinion of owning and reading books that are considered written by heretics?
After listening to Harold Camping on the radio make outrageous claims on the radio, I sent away for several of his books. I was interested on how he could justify his claims biblically. I did not pay for the books, although I don't know if that makes a difference.
Also books like the Book of Mormon.
I understand that since we have the internet it is very easy to find other peoples opinion of some of these books, but sometimes I need to read them myself to try to understand the problems with them.
When I first started learning about the protestant reformation I purchased several books on protestant theology. Well I ended up with some really bizarre books. In one of the books the author argued that we cant use the bible for modern theology because of its errors.
Is it wise to keep these books in my library? What is your opinion?
