Building
A Theological
Library
REVISED EDITION 2023
DANIEL L. AKIN
Books are to the minister of the gospel of Jesus Christ what tools are to the
carpenter: the essentials of the trade. A call to ministry is a call to preparation,
and the building of a ministry library is a must, not an option.
As the apostle Paul faced his impending death, he still remained a student,
requesting of Timothy that he bring the books when he came to visit him in
prison (2 Tim. 4:13). This booklet has been prepared for those who desire to
follow in Paul’s steps.
Warren Wiersbe oers some sound wisdom for this very task: “My books are
my tools, and I use them. I cannot aord to be a book collector; neither the
budget nor the diminishing shelf space ... permits such a luxury ... I enjoy my
library. Each book is a friend that converses with and teaches me. Better to have
fewer of the best books than to clutter your shelves with volumes that cannot
serve you well. Above all, love your books, use them, and dedicate all you learn
to the service of Jesus Christ.” To that end we have provided more than 1,000
titles to assist you in building your library and faithfully serving our Lord. Most
titles are written from an evangelical perspective, having been authored by
individuals who arm the full authority and inspiration of Scripture (Matt. 5:17-18;
2 Tim. 3:16-17; 2 Pet. 1:20-21).
While a good library is necessary as a solid foundation for ministry, training
under godly men and women is also important (2 Tim. 2:2). You may be someone
who senses God’s calling for further study and preparation. Southeastern Baptist
Theological Seminary exists for this very purpose, with a faculty and programs
of study designed to enable the student to be a careful and equipped teacher of
the God’s Word. Whether your calling is to be a missionary or evangelist, pastor
or teacher, counselor, educator or minister of music and worship, Southeastern
Seminary is a community of faith which can better prepare you for service in the
body of Christ.
Southeastern Seminary is committed to training men and women in sound
evangelical scholarship to reach a lost world for Jesus Christ (Matt. 28:18:20). If
God leads you our way, we will look forward to working with you.
“Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who has no
need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth.” (2 Tim. 2:15).
In His Name,
Daniel L. Akin, President
Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary

My preferred Bible translations would be the

The New American Standard Version (Nelson),
or The New King James Version (Zondervan). It
is best to use multiple translations for serious
biblical study.
