Why Buy Old Books or EBOOKS of Old Books?
Why should I buy your books ? After all, you publish or distribute mainly old books, and we have newer information today.
It might seem that way. But not really. Sometimes people think that the books which are written more recently are those which are more accurate. But that is less and less the case.
In fact, that is not the case at all. The books that we publish/distribute - (now moving rapidly towards INSTANT DOWNLOAD EBOOK ) - are those which are written by eyewitnesses to the events recounted.
Our understanding today of some of those historical events - such as the reformation - is diminished because we don't know Enough of the circumstances of that day & time, to understand the CONTEXT within which those events occurred. But an eyewitness account usually discusses and addresses most of the major events that have an impact on the story being shared with us.
For example, if you were alive in the time of some of the Early Church Fathers, it would be easier to explain some of the ideas & debates of the time, than attempting to explain it now.
It is much easier for an eyewitness to know what to include (since they were there, & writing at that time period) - than it is for us coming in several centuries later...to try to reconstruct what took place.
Another problem with modern authors is that they do not read the old languages that the people they discuss were speaking. So today's "new books" are limited in having to use second-hand sources for their own "new books". Old authors such the ones we distribute - wrote in German Dialects, or Latin, or Greek which makes them much more knowledgeable than Modern Authors.
That is not too surprising when we consider how many hours upon hours those authors were able to devote to studies.
Most modern authors today do not know those languages, they cannot read the firsthand books that those people wrote.
However, Biographers of 200 years ago COULD read those old languages. So the biographies of the earlier time periods tend to be much more accurate and in-depth than the new books coming out today.
Most New Books today have become extremely narrow in their topic. The problem is that we could be learning about many other parts of life and society - at the same time - but this information is kept out of modern books (not by malice, but by neglect).
Older books naturally incorporated that into the fabric of the book, because they saw life as something which was lived more within their own context. So older books give us a broader view of the heroes & examples we are trying to learn from.
Older books are also usually more effective learning tools. Today's books often discuss a biography of a person, while leaving out the details of the theology that the person was advocating. The Older books usually incorporate this and the details, so that anyone reading the book also gains some theological history and roots - through reading, in a way that has almost become lost these days. Reading older books is another way to reconnect with our past, to find authentic Christianity, and to gain the roots that many of us have lost.
