  • Three Part Series on Reformed Theology

    I recently came across this three-part series on Reformed Theology, specifically focusing on Sola Scriptura. I believe the speaker is R. C. Sproul. Unfortunately, the sound is not well synchronized with the video, or wasn’t when I watched it.

On the one hand you proclaim…

  • Who is to Blame for Svendsen’s Book?

    In response to this post (link) promoting a freely-downloadable mp3 related to Eric Svendsen’s book, “Upon this Slippery Rock: Countering Roman Catholic Claims to Authority,” Mr. Bellisario provided the following commentary, which I intersperse with my comments: MB: “Wow. If Sola Scriptura is so simple and easy to get, then why do all of these…
