I Recommend
This past week, I shared the following links on social media and I think they’re worth sharing here too:

Power of Presence in Theological Education
There are some things that just done better face-to-face. Seminary education is one of them.
Hot off the press! Beza, Polanus, and Turretin On Justification By Faith Alone
I’ve definitely put this new book on my wish-list.

She said, “I used to love to read the Bible and pray, but now I find it both laborious and aggravating. I just feel dead!””
