This pandemic should be welcomed as a reoccurring example of nature’s way, by natural selection and the survival of the fittest of reminding us of who we are—soulless, electro-chemically driven animals, coming to our meaningless end and thereby renewing our singular focus on our own survival.

William Perkins, 1604, on the Inspiration, Preservation and Canonicity of Holy Scripture as the foundation for Preaching

CHAP III Of the Word of God The perfect and equal object of Preaching is the Word of God, (or, the word of God is the whole and only matter, about which preaching is exercised: it is the field in which the Preacher must contain himself).

The Contemporary Church would do well to follow the truth contained in Lamothe’s writings when approaching the current textual and version debate.) The third proof drawn from the distinction on which the Ancients made between Canonical and ApocryphalContinue reading “C.G. Lamothe, 1694, on Inspiration Establishing Canonicity”
