Luther's New Testament (in German)
Martin Luther’s New Testament (complete with the Epistle of James, no matter what you may have heard) can be found here (link). Sadly the scanning quality was not great – several pages are practically illegible, and the font used (while a traditional, noble, German font) is hard to read, especially for moderners, who are used…

Meta-Fan Mail – Not Really
I recently received this comment on my blog: “First of all, let me say that it is so inspiring and encouraging to see your passion for the Bible and your desire to help others discover a deeper relationship with Christ. Your blog is thought provoking and your passion for the Word of God is contagious!…

Just for the Record on Reformed Catholicism
As this Catholic blogger (Mark Shea, apparently) points out, “Reformed Catholicism,” is not Catholic, but for the record, it’s also not Reformed – it’s simply out there. It seems highly sympathetic to the Federal Vision and the CREC, which are, as at least one writer pointed out, not Reformed at all. Also, this means that…

>Thoughts on Progress in the Atonement Debate
>As some of my readers may be aware, there is an ongoing – fairly informal – debate on the atonement in progress at Contend Earnestly. I’ve posted the following comment there, and I’m reposting the comment here (with minor revisions): Hebrews 10:14 For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified.…

Thoughts on Progress in the Atonement Debate
As some of my readers may be aware, there is an ongoing – fairly informal – debate on the atonement in progress at Contend Earnestly. I’ve posted the following comment there, and I’m reposting the comment here (with minor revisions): Hebrews 10:14 For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified.…

Holy Water Debate – Negative Constructive Argument Posted
Now that the Sola Scriptura Debate is complete, I’ve posted a Negative Constructive opening statement in the Holy Water Debate over at the debate blog, taking the position that Holy Water as it is used by modern Roman Catholicism is simply a hangover (or should that be hand-me-down/left-over …) from medieval superstition, rather than something…

Federal Vision – Status Report
According to this report, the Louisiana Presbytery of the PCA has been formally indicted for its failure to bring appropriate action against Steve Wilkins, a teaching elder subject to the jurisdiction of the LA presbytery. That’s good news and sad news at the same time. It’s good news because it means progress is being made…

Shiny New Anti-Calvinist Web Site
Here is the latest anti-Calvinist propaganda site put forth by Dan Corner (link), aptly titled “No Calvinism”. The web site’s opening page is very professional looking. While some of the other pages are far more amateurish. The web site includes a link to Dan Corner’s deceptively edited audio recording of a private telephone call between…

FV a Stepping Stone to Rome?
This former FVist is claiming that the Federal Vision was a stepping stone to Rome (link). The big “yeah, but,” is that obviously the step before the Federal Vision was a Reformed Church. In any event, stones should not be blamed for those who step on them, and it seems somewhat unfair to blame Doug…

Practical Morality: Curse not the Rich
Ecclesiastes 10:20 Curse not the king, no not in thy thought; and curse not the rich in thy bedchamber: for a bird of the air shall carry the voice, and that which hath wings shall tell the matter. All of Scripture is variously profitable instruction in righteousness, but Ecclesiastes 10:20 is emminantly practical, particularly in…
