Historical Theology
The Author of the Belgic Confession on Justification
Wes Bredenhof is surveying Guido (Guy) de Bres’ 1555 reply to Rome, The Staff of the Christian Faith. This is an interesting document as it’s mostly a series of patristic quotations showing how the Reformation agreed with the early fathers—thereby subverting the . . . Continue reading →
An Anabaptist Doctrine of Revelation
Dan’s at it again. He’s been reading sources.
Clark and Schilder on "The Categorical Distinction"

Of Remonstrants and Rationalists
Bavinck had some interesting things to say.
Neo-Barthians v Neo-Orthodox

J. H. Alsted's Theological Curriculum
More great stuff from Todd at Historical Theoblogy.
