Even apostles need books
See this blog post: Spurgeon: Yet He Want’s Books. Justin Taylor comments on Charles Spurgeon’s sermon on 2 Timothy 4:13. In that passage, Paul asks Timothy to bring him his books.
He is inspired, and yet he wants books!
He has been preaching at least for thirty years, and yet he wants books!
He had seen the Lord, and yet he wants books!
He had had a wider experience than most men, and yet he wants books!
He had been caught up into the third heaven, and had heard things which it was unlawful for a men to utter, yet he wants books!
He had written the major part of the New Testament, and yet he wants books!
