unpacking

Here's some pics of my new office, 320F Northwestern, at Luther Seminary. 

We've been unpacking at our house since Saturday and have made huge progress there, and today  I had a chance to get after the boxes in my office.  So nice to find old friends (like Alfred North Whitehead's 1926 Lowell Lectures, Religion in the Making, in the original Macmillan 1926 hardback edition from my teacher James M. Gustafson's library (it has his marginalia  throughout)) and new ones (like Slavoj Zizek's The Fragil Absolute--or, why is the christian legacy worth fighting for? (along with a helpful overview of this and a number of Zizek's recent publications by Ashley Woodiwiss in Books & Culture)). 
Here's one more from the office.
Peace,
Chris

Bookcases! I was a little worried that you wouldn't have the space for your weighty tomes. Glad to hear the move is going well.

Hey Chris:

Deb Bohlmann's husband here. I was doing a little surfing through my favorite websites and found out you're now in St. Paul. Woo-hoo! Congrats on the new position!

Did the electric bass guitar make the move? Inquiring music-lover wants to know.

I love that you referred to your books as "friends." And I love referring to friends as books. Aren't we all books, afterall? Collections of beautiful stories (I take my line from Donald Miller's Blue Like Jazz).
