Building a Theological Library

The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary

Published by Daniel L. Akin, Academic Vice President Dean, School of Theology Why Build a Biblical{fheologlcal Library?

Books are to the minister of the gospel of Jesus Christ what tools are to the carpenter: the essentials of the trade. A call to ministry is a call to preparation, and the building of a ministerial library is a must, not an option. As the apostle Paul faced his impending death he still remained a student, requesting of Timothy that he bring the books when he came to visit him in prison (2 Tim. 4:13). This booklet has been prepared for those who desire to follow in Paul's steps. Over 600 titles are listed as those books which should be acquired first as you begin your library. Each is an important title which you will find helpful in ministry for our Lord. Most titles are written from an evangelical perspective, hav­ ing been authored by individuals who affirm the full authority and inspiration of Scripture (Matt. 5:17-18; 2 Tim. 3:16-17,2 Pet. 1:20-21). However, though a good library is necessary as a solid foundation for ministry, training under godly men and women is also important (2 Tim. 2:2). You may be someone who senses God's calling for further study and preparation. The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary exists for this very purpose, with a faculty and program of study designed to enable the student to be a careful and equipped teacher of Holy Scripture. Whether your calling is to be a missionary or evangelist, pastor or teacher, counselor, educator or minister of music and worship, Southern Seminary is a com­ munity of faith which can better prepare you for service in the body of Christ. If you would like to know more about Southern Seminary and how we might help you, complete the attached card at the back of the booklet and mail it to receive further information. We are committed to training men and women in sound evangelical scholarship to reach a lost world for Jesus Christ (Matt 28:16-20). If God leads you our way, we will look forward to work­ ing with you. "Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rlghtly dividing the word of truth" (2 Tim. 2:15).

May God's Richest Blessings Abide,
