About My Library

My library includes 31,000 books, all physical books, no digital components. Mostly religion, theology, mystery and history, science-fiction and fantasy. I am currently building up my military and naval history. I was inspired to build a great library by reading about the Bible professor Wilbur M Smith who taught at Fuller Seminary and Trinity Evangelical Divinity School. His library numbered about 30,000; I was also influenced by reading about Umberto Eco's personal library as well as the library of Nicholas Basbanes, an author who has written extensively about books and book collecting. You can see a tour of his library on this C-Span video:

I have obtained over time portions of several academics and writers personal libraries including almost 300 volumes from the library of Samuel Francis, a far right journalist and editor who some have credited with indirectly influencing Trumpism through his direct influence on Patrick Buchanan. I also have acquired large portions of the personal libraires of moderate Baptist theologians James Tull, Dale Moody and Morris Ashcraft.

I studied ministry and theology at Baptist Theological Seminary at Richmond, Asbury Theological Seminary, and Campbellsville University School of Theology. I am currently completing a Doctor of Ministry (DMin) at Christian Theological Seminary. I also did graduate work in history at East Carolina University.
