Review: John Calvin: A heart for devotion, doctrine & doxology
Review
2009 marks John Calvin’s 500th birthday. 500 years on, he is still a figure of controversy. Sure, his Institutes of the Christian Religion still stands as arguably the guide to the biblical Christian faith. (more…)

Barry Newman on what is the soul?
Review
Before you do anything else today (apart from reading your Bible, brushing your teeth and praying), point your browser to Barry Newman’s blog, set it on autopilot and wait for the good stuff to roll in. Right now he is looking at what the Bible has to say about the soul. (more…)
Unpacking forgiveness
Review, Sola Panel
