Back to Blogging: The Hiatus Ends

It has been over a year since my last blog post. It has been a much needed break and I am glad that I took it. But, I miss the blogosphere and the ability to share ideas with other young theologians. That being said, theo-blogology is back and I look forward to many excellent conversations. It's good to be back.

Adam Neder on the Humanness of Calvin, Part 5

Part 5 of Adam Neder's post/lecture on Calvin is up at DET. I apologize for getting the link up so late. This post revolves around Calvin's relationship to Martin Bucer, to whom Calvin owes much to. Go take a look.

Adam Neder on the Humanness of Calvin, Part 4

Another excellent post by Dr. Adam Neder over at DET. This post deals specifically with Calvin's relationship to William Farel. This is just excellent. These posts bring to light much of what we don't know about Calvin, but should in fact know. Make sure to take a look.

Adam Neder on the Humanness of Calvin, Part 3

Post 3 by Dr. Adam Neder over at DET, is in my opinion, the most telling in regards to the unveiling of Calvin's humanness. Neder focuses on the examination of Calvin's relationships to both his wife and his friends; he also gives an excerpt from a letter that Calvin wrote to the father of one of Calvin's tenants who had died - it is quite moving.  All this to say, this post like the last two is well worth your time.

Adam Neder on the Humanness of Calvin, Part 2

Over at Der Evangelische Theologe, Travis has posted a lecture series given by Dr. Adam Neder. Adam is professor of theology at Whitworth University in Spokane, WA. Adam was a teacher of mine and a good friend. His lecture brings to light some of the reasons why much of the Church has refused to read Calvin, and why they are missing out. I highly recommend reading these first two posts and the ones to come--they are quite insightful.
