<p>[QUOTE="Al Kowsky, post: 4398358, member: 97383"]BenSi, You've got an interesting selection of books in your library <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />. It looks like you're heavy with Byzantine literature. I've got many of the same titles but my library is too large & disorganized to photograph. I've got hundreds of catalogs, mostly ancient coins & oriental art. When I was in the coin business I was being deluged with catalogs from all the major auction houses, & I didn't have to pay for any of them <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie7" alt=":p" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />. Before I moved to Churchville, NY I gave away hundreds of catalogs, mostly U.S. coins & art medals. One of your books caught my eye, <b>The SECRET ROOTS of CHRISTIANITY, Decoding Religious History with Symbols on Ancient Coins, by David Wray</b>. I bought a copy of this book a couple of years ago & found it to be incredibly well researched & a great read. What did you think of this book, especially the conclusion <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie12" alt="o_O" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />? His conclusion was very controversial & many hard-core Christians were offended by it. I think it's a hard book for Christians to view objectively. I'm not a Christian but enjoy the history & art of Christianity.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
