  • More of Trey Austin

    Well, it seems that Mr. Austin does not like the correction he has received by those he considers his Christian brethren, so much that he has fired off a massive, multi-post response.

  • Ponter’s Massive Calvin Quotations – A Quick Note

    I’m in the process of carefully reviewing a recent massive post by David Ponter, full of quotations from English translations of John Calvin’s writings and preachings.

    Sorry that this format is so banal. I will try to fix it, in time. Most recently updated December 27, 2007, to add headings and remove a few of the less salient comments. There are just an enormous volume of comments and answers. Response to Comments from Tony (YnottonY, hereafter (“Y”)) Y: I thought I…
