I'll bet I have more than 32 of his "talks" myself...some of them even in a 
binder, but I will buy the book because I want to see what you have done.

> An announcement many of us have been waiting for: the book of Joseph
> Mathews' talks is in publication and nearing completion. Currently the
> projection is that it will be off the press in January-February 2005.
> The
> book contains 32 of his talks, including some RS-I lectures he once
> gave.
> It also includes a "Foreword" by Bishop Jim remembering some of Joe's
> early days in which his oratory was already evident.
>
> The book has four sections, each with an introduction (two by me, and
> one each by George Holcombe and John Cock.) George Walters has written
> the "Postlude" and Betty Pesek a note about the "Archives" and the
> accessibility of Joe's files for additional research. We suspect that
> this book is the first of many that will publish more of his talks and
> will elaborate further on the themes he introduced.
>
> The book is entitled Bending History: Selected Talks of Joseph W.
> Mathews. It is approximately 300 pages at a cost of $19.95 USD. If you
> reserve/place your order prior to 1 December, 2004, the special offer
> price will be $17.45 plus $2.50 postage: total of $19.95 in USA. (Reg.
> mail in USA and Priority Global outside USA is additional.)
>
> First, reserve your special offer copy(s) by e-mail to Betty Pesek:
> <mailto:bpesek at kanbay.com> (remember, do not reply to list serve).
>
> By Dec 1, make your cheques out to Resurgence Publishing Corp. @ $19.95,
> in USA, and send them, along with your order, to Betty Pesek, 4750 N.
> Sheridan Road, Chicago IL 60640. She has kindly agreed to oversee
> distribution until another volunteer steps forward.
>
> We on the editorial team are convinced that the book is a first step in
> getting the theological perspective that Joe embodied more widely
> distributed. As a starting point, we hope to see the book read and
> discussed in groups inside and outside the church and in seminaries
> internationally. This means getting it beyond our "in house" network. So
> if you have contacts who might benefit from and be open to Joe's
> insights, please help them get access to the book. (We've tried to edit
> out most of the unintelligible jargon and the wholly masculine pronouns
> in order to preserve the genuine offense rather than the spurious ones.)

> I hope you will take advantage of this opportunity. It's been an
> unbelievable treat to work on this project.
