Preaching and Paganism

My third book from this store and this one might be the best. Every rereading turns up something I missed. It reads better in small doses — a chapter at a time with notes. One of my better finds this year.
This exceeded my expectations. It's become a regular reference in my practice. Well worth it.
First purchase from this shop. The text itself is dense but rewarding — you get out what you put in. Every rereading turns up something I missed. Deserves a place on any esoteric bookshelf.
Needed this for my research. It pairs well with more modern commentaries on the same tradition. A few pages arrived with light corner wear, though nothing serious.
Added this to my reference shelf. The language takes some getting used to, but it becomes part of the charm. Plenty of passages worth underlining; my copy is already full of margin notes. Highly recommend to serious students.
Bought this as a gift for my sister and ended up ordering a second copy for myself. The material is presented clearly and the structure makes it easy to revisit key passages. Every rereading turns up something I missed. If you're drawn to this subject, don't hesitate.
