I have all three of these, but I placed my order anyway. I would like to see his two books on the spring and fall holy days, too.

It's kind of humorous how Bacchiocchi was given the papal imprimatur for this project. While their motivations were/are different--almost at cross purposes--both SDAs and the Vatican had an interest in the results of Bacchiocchi's research.

Isn't it likely that all theses accepted for a doctorate at the Pontifical Gregorian University receive a papal imprimatur if the publisher wishes to show it?

I'm not suggesting anything unusual or inappropriate took place. I'm just making an observation about the way a single data set can be viewed as evidence for two nearly opposite conclusions. The standing historical face-off between the Vatican and SDAs just make it all the more incongruous, thus humorous. On second thought, this situation is/was highly unusual.
