I had not heard of Lockyer or the series, but I've spent a lot of time since you posted this vetting him. I've read nothing but praise about him and the ALL series. I also looked at some examples of the content in individual books of the ALL series and liked what I saw. It's hard to find the ALL series as a complete set in one place. Many of them are only individual books or partial sets on ebay and other places. In two places that had clear pictures I counted a total of 24 volumes. Wikipedia shows a picture with 24 volumes, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herbert_Lockyer. The Amazon description said 17 volumes, but I counted 24: https://www.amazon.com/All-Set-Herbert-Lockyer/dp/B000O2S4YS. I'm going to hold out for compiling the older hard-copy set published by Zondervan Publishing over the newer paperback editions. It's going to take a while to get the complete set, but fortunately I'm off to a good start - I found 11 volumes in Very Good condition on a used book website. That should keep me happy for now while I hunt for the rest. UPDATE: The more I look, the more volumes I find! I didn't read Lockyer's bibliography in the wikipedia article. According to the bibliography, there are actually 26 volumes in the ALL series. It's going to need its own bookcase! Bibliography The following is an incomplete list of Herbert Lockyer's published books. Many of his sermons were also published in pamphlet form, most of which are now out of print. 1.

Plus there's just something peaceful and encouraging about having a well-stocked library with a wide variety of subjects in my study. (Well, not entirely mine, it's a spare bedroom my wife and I share). If she would just get her collection of school teacher curriculum stacked everywhere (and her mystery novels) out, that would be even better, but I would have to put an addition on the house to accommodate her! Talk about expensive! Edited January 7, 2021 by Workman Clarity 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Condensed and concise. the Systematic Theology book has a very thorough glossary and index making it easy to look up topics. These were gifts from people who's beliefs aren't the same as mine and as with any book, I take some and I leave some. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since it came on a Monday, haven't had much time to really get into it, but over the week I've given it a quick once over. First thing was to make sure it was what was promised in the description, and it was, so I'm pleased with that. The seller's description said it was 11 books of the series in very good condition with dust jackets, but with various printing dates. The books are very handsome underneath the somewhat worn dust jackets. (I get books for the info therein, not for display. If they happen to look nice, so be it.) The printing dates are mostly in the 70s. I think I saw one from early 60s and another from the early 80s. Yesterday I had enough time to at least read one of the introductions. My wife was particularly interested in the All Women book. When I read the intro, I got a big kick out of the first paragraph. Seriously, I laughed out loud. This made me really like HL, he wasn't just a stuffy academic. Too bad he's not around anymore, I would travel to hear him. If I can figure out a way to copy some of the intro, I'll post it. There doesn't seem to be a way to attach a PDF here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I have "ALL" of those. I collected them over years by frequenting used book stores. One can get a lot of ideas about books by looking through people's inputs on library thing. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
