With the rapid explosion of online bookstores, traditional sources have narrowed and many theological and academic titles in particular have become more difficult to obtain. They may be excellent books that are out of print, or historical titles.
ACR helps fill this gap by creating a market for second hand titles. Some of them date back as far as the 1880's, so feel free to browse. There are 100s of titles, many of them are sourced from former students or the libraries of retired ministers. Note that some may not be classified as Christian, but are of interest for study and critique purposes.
Be aware that the condition of second hand titles may vary, depending on their age and usage. Some will be in excellent condition and others not - they are priced accordingly.
Many of the second hand titles are a single copy only, without the possibility of back ordering.
So feel free to browse online, or give us a call to discuss what you're looking for.
We have categories as varied as as pneumatology, Christology, theodicy, eschatology, homiletics, Australian spirituality, world religions, biography – and many more.
Please note: Our second hand book collection is kept off-site from our main warehouse and managed by a team of volunteers. Please allow for a longer than standard dispatch time for orders including these products.
This may occur within our second hand book area. Second hand books are not regular stock items, and may often be one-off copies. We aim to get them online as soon as possible, which may be ahead of the more detailed cataloging process. If you would particularly like a photo for a book of interest, please feel free to make contact via online chat, phone or email and we can arrange.
