Bible Change
I've long preferred the NIV Study Bible and have been using it since my freshman year at Geneva in 1996. But my church switched from the NIV to the ESV a couple of years ago. And after speaking with one of the professors at PTS who likes the NRSV over the NIV and gave reasons why, I have decided to take a closer look at the ESV. Now the ESV and NRSV started with the same text: The 1971 RSV. One went the way that drives me nuts with political correctness and the other took the other route. The route of worldly condemnation of being noninclusive. Or in other words standing up for what you believe.
So I bought the ESV Literary Study Bible a few minutes ago.
Of course since I went with the el cheapo shipping, I'll probably get it sometime in December.

Too bad. If you'd bought it at Westminster Bookstore (www.wtsbooks.com), you would have paid just $29.99 for the Bible, and for only $5 (flat fee, any size order), it would have been shipped out to you the same day by UPS.
Wow Westminster certainly isn't looking to make money on the textbooks. I'm impressed. I bought from Amazon and others like Booksamillion and christianbook.com in the past because they were so much cheaper than the bookstores on the campuses I've been on. Maybe I'll actually take a closer look at PTS's book store prices. Maybe they aren't gouging like my past school's book stores.
Westminster is definitely cheaper than PTS's bookstore. PTS's is just a Cokebury outlet.
