What kinds of religious books do collectors seek? Religion and theology form one of the oldest fields in book collecting, and this category ranges widely across it. Here are antiquarian bibles and prayer books, works of theology and church history, biblical scholarship, comparative religion, and the mission and church histories that are so closely tied to South Africa's own past.
This category gathers second-hand and collectable religious books held at Midlands Books in the KwaZulu-Natal Midlands: bibles and devotional works, theology and biblical studies, church and mission histories, and illustrated volumes, from common reading copies to scarce early and leather-bound editions. Older bibles in particular vary enormously in value depending on date, binding and condition, and family bibles are not always what their owners expect. If you have inherited a religious book and want to gauge its worth, our guide on how to know if your old book is valuable is a helpful place to start.
