New doorstop!

I found a really great deal on Charles Porterfield Krauth's "The Conservative Reformation and Its Theology". It came in the mail today, and I think a small house could have been built with the trees used to print this thing: 840+ pages.

Here's a brief outline of his life:

1823 - Born at Martinsburg, Berkeley County, Virginia

1831-1839 - Attended Gettysburg Gymnasuim, which later became Pennsylvania College

1839-1841 - Attended Theological Seminary at Gettysburg, Pennsylvania

1841 - Licensed to preach by the Maryland Synod (18 years old)

1871 - "Conservative Reformation and Its Theology" published

1841-1883(+)- Pastor of many congregations, recipient of several honorary doctorates, author of innumerable books and scholarly articles.
