    Brent Walters


    Magnificent Obsession

    Brent Walters started his collection on early Chirstian literature at age 15. Now his library numbers 85,000 pieces.


    The early years of Christianity are the least examined and one of the least understood of any historical period, yet they are among the most crucial, because that's when most of the world's religions were evolving. This period so intrigues Los Gatos native Brent Walters that he's been collecting material on it since he was 15. By the time Walters was 18 he had acquired 1,000 volumes. Now 45, his library numbers 85,000 pieces. This includes books, critiques, documents, articles and journals, some of which can only be found in elusive, exclusive libraries.   More
