Loraine Boettner Collection (8 vols.)
Overview
Loraine Boettner set forth a clear vision for Reformed and evangelical theology for the modern era. He articulated classic Reformed orthodoxy for a new generation, and possessed the rare gift of clearly explaining the complex principles of theology without sacrificing academic rigor. Best-known for his volumes on the doctrine of predestination and Roman Catholicism, Loraine Boettner explained and popularized the Reformed faith for a broad audience.
The 8-volume Loraine Boettner Collection contains eight of Boettner’s most popular works, including The Reformed Doctrine of Predestination, The Millennium, and his best-selling Roman Catholicism. As a gifted theologian and prolific writer, Boettner took seriously the task of bringing theological reflection to bear on the most pressing issues Christians face. From contemporary issues—such as just war theory—to theological problems—such as eternal reprobation—Boettner writes with a generous spirit and utmost fidelity to Scripture and the Reformed confessions. This collection is ideal for pastors, students, and anyone interested in Reformed theology.

I received all of the above books for $10 from Boettner himself while I was still in college and before I went on to seminary. He did that as a ministry to students..you wrote him a letter and he would send you all his books (hardback at the time) for the cost of shipping. The books are very good and especially useful for those who are just beginning to study and trying to understand the reformed faith. The only book that may not be so hot..so to speak..was his book on Roman Catholicism ..which is very weak arguments or as some say not correct in many areas. Still the other books in the set are still well worth reading. He has now gone to be with the Lord so do not expect to get the great deal I and others did.
