While Mohr-Siebeck books are as expensive as all get-out, that doesn't mean they aren't great books. Whenever the catalog arrives (it gets sent to me at Logos since that's my typical shipping address) Mike Heiser and I refer to it as a "productivity hit". You can't help but stop and carefully look at the new books in the catalog while using a tissue to clean up the drool-puddle that inches ever closer to your keyboard. The recent catalog is no exception. If I had a whole lot of money to throw at books, I'd seriously think about these new ones in the Mohr catalog:

• Richard Bauckham, The Jewish World around the New Testament: Collected Essays Volume I (€130)
• Bengt Holmberg and Mikael Winninge, Identity Formation in the New Testament (€ 80)
• Bengt Holmberg, Exploring Early Christian Identity (€ 65)
• Petrus Gräbe, The Power of God in Paul's Letters (€ 49)
• Stephen E. Witmer, Divine Instruction in Early Christianity (€ 50)

But, alas, I do not have "a whole lot of money to throw at books", or to throw anywhere else for that matter, so I'll have to content myself by making sure the drool puddle doesn't overtake the keyboard.

BTW, Of the above, Gräbe (especially) and Witmer look most interesting to me, in case anyone is thinking they'd like to get me something nice for my birthday in October ...
