Rightly Dividing the Word of Truth 
Only one left in stock as of 1:35pm EST! I purchased a copy earlier this morning to replace the one I’ve had to leave behind in Puerto Rico; thanks for the heads up!
Esteban: I’m overjoyed to hear that you were able to take advantage of this deal while supplies lasted! I cam across it when updating my reading widget. I’ll be finally finishing this book which I started well over a year ago!
I just snapped up one myself. It was $4.80 instead of $1.43, but that’s still a great deal, especially with the Amazon prime trial in place…
Alex: $4.80 ain’t bad at all. It’s still less than half the cost of the next cheapest out there.
It’s up to $8. You guys must have tripped Amazon’s supply-demand equations, because the increased demand have definitely increased the price.
Am I wrong, or does this book argue for Matthean priority?
Mike: Wow! That was quick!
Kyle: You are not wrong. His proposed order is Matthew → Luke → Mark → John.
Okay, I joined the club…but mine was the Kindle edition that was 9.59! I feel ripped off…haha
Kyle: Ouch! Are you going exclusively with Kindle books these days or have you been mixing it up?
Thanks for the heads up. That’s a great idea.
there are no more 1 dollar ones
and I lost my chance to get Kugel’s How to Read the Bible for $7 – ah well.
I prefer hardbacks, but when I can’t get it in Malaysia or Singapore, it’s much cheaper to go with the Kindle version than to pay for/wait on shipping.
There are some that I simply refuse to buy on Kindle though. Usually they are big hardbacks, or from OUP/CUP…I’m not going to pay $100+ for the digital file.
thanks for drawing attention to it. Relies heavily on patristic evidence for its Griesbachen order according to a reviewer – that’s normally the way of them for there ain’t much else to rely on. Thank goodness it’s so short. I’m not looking forward to it ;-)
TC: My pleasure. Did you happen to get to it before the price went up?
Brian: Sadly that’s true. Esteban may have quite literally snatched up the last one. Sorry about the Kugel book.
Kyle: I prefer them too! At the moment I have something like 1,000+ e-books on my hard drive so depending on which device handles PDFs best I might be getting something like a Kindle sooner than later. And I hate the thought of paying $100+ for any book regardless of the format!
Steph: Hey there! I’ve been thinking about you for the past week or so; wondering where you’ve been. I was going to shoot you an email but here you are! Concerning the book; it’s pretty good actually. Even if you come down disagreeing it’s a nice intro to neo-Griesbachianism.
That’s kind Nick. Thanks for noticing and thanks for caring. I’ve been in the gloom…
As for Black – unless he has some new revelation on Matthean priority, methinks I’ll be disagreeing. As for intros on Griesbach – I’ve read far too many and they make me as mad as Qites. ;-)
