Book Center Frequently Asked Questions



What sort of theological topics can I find at the Book Center?



The titles in the Book Center represent a wide variety of theological positions not all of which reflect positions held by Dallas Theological Seminary. In a graduate setting, theological students must study works that represent many sides of the issues. For recommendations or evaluations of titles please contact us.



Are discounts given to students and alumni?


Discounts are extended to all Book Center customers. The majority of books sold at the Book Center receive a 20% discount off the publisher's retail price. This includes textbooks and special orders in addition to the books in stock. Please call for additional discounts on quantities of 50 or more of the same title. (A few publishers don't provide a discount that enables us to price merchandise below retail.) Special purchases allow us to regularly mark some titles 30-70% off retail. Prices are subject to change and we must pass on the increase or decrease to our customers. We will notify you of any price change before we ship it to you.

If I order a book online is it guaranteed to be in stock?




Since we are a traditional brick-and-mortar store serving our students and faculty, our stock is limited to the size of our store. If the title you need is out of stock, we will notify you and can usually obtain a copy within a week. Occasionally, the publisher will run out of a title causing us to wait for a reprinting. We will notify you if your title will be delayed or has gone out of print. If you need to have something rushed, please call us with your order and we will let you know the status of the item. At the beginning of each semester, your order might be delayed due to the textbook rush.
