Just ask Feruza what happens if you bring a pocket NT to my class! I am not upset that more people didn't come.  I didn't expect that many people.  But I did have a good time at the convention, although I left the day before they elected the first female Presiding Bishop.

Or written sweet and fluffy stuff like, say Max Lucado. He gets three thousand people at his book signings. :) No, seriously, I am sorry that not many folk were interested in the book, but I know for myself that before I came to Duke, I could have almost been a disciple of Marcion. Well, maybe not quite, but I realized that I had not heard anybody preach or teach OT in the church, and sadly, I am not an exception. OK, somebody might have studied the book of Ruth in Sunday Schoolor read Isaiah during Advent. I think you need to start touring churches and talking about the importance of the OT for understanding NT. And please start with the Methodists. Kevin, maybe you should have become a NT scholar.

First, there's no reason to think that there were "three wise men" so the number three isn't all that important. ;-) Second, it's not how many come to your signing, its how many read your book! I've done two book signings (one at the local bookstore and one at another location) and never had more than 30 people show up to get theirs signed. Actually, I was a bit relieved at the low turnout because it meant I could be less gregarious.... ;-) Enjoy your conference. Don’t be sad.
