Valiant for Truth - Reformation

WSC's latest faculty publication is Dr. Fesko's Beyond Calvin: Union with Christ and Justfication in Early Modern Reformed Theology (1517-1700). What's the book all about? Here's the publisher's description:

New comets bring a dust that glitters from the previous ages. The comet of The Reformation in the Cities shines continually over the landscape of scholarship. This book brings its wisdom from the past about the past. The Reformation in the Cities, originally written for an academic audience, should challenge the average layman when reading it. But wait--don't stop reading yet--this book should challenge him like mastering a new craft or hobby. The stories of the Reformation, after trudging through the intro, are worth the book's price.

In the past few years there have been a number of cookbooks which give recipes that sneak healthy food into tasty dishes. I have firsthand experience with some of these recipes and can testify that some are hits (spinach brownies) and some are misses (beet pancakes—youch!).

There have recently been a number of Reformed converts to Roman Catholicism and Taylor Marshall is among their number.  Mr. Marshall and a number of other converts at www.calledtocommunion.com offered to pay for the book to be given to Reformed seminarians who wrote in.

“What is the chief and highest end of man?” This is our ultimate question and should be the heartbeat of who we are, thinking of it daily. This is what it is all about as a Christian. To have a “chief end” means that we were made for something, that we have a main purpose in life. And we have a “highest end,” among the many goals and accomplishments of our lives.
