“On the one hand, it seems pretty clear that Catholic intellectuals dominate the scene of Christian scholarship—not just in the area of theology, but in every area.”

Five years ago, I started reading the primary sources from the 16th and 17th c. for my PhD in Owen's political theory. I can't help but reflect on the incredible journey it's been! As I write the conclusion, it feels like one chapter is closing while another is about to begin!
@JaredNMays @RScottClark @Xpistoff @_DeanAnthony Jared, do you think it is right to speak about “Baptist” in the context of England (to differentiate them from those of America) in the 1640s and 50s? Or would it be more appropriate to speak of Congregationalists/Independents with a Credobaptist position? 😃
We are excited about the autumn release of Robert Strivens' new book - a clear, concise and enriching guide to the Second London Baptist Confession of Faith. This is a book that will help individual Christians to understand their faith more clearly and equip local church pastors to teach doctrine more effectively. Further details and pre-order options will be shared in coming weeks.

Alasdair MacIntyre has died. His classic After Virtue had a tremendous effect on me when I was an undergrad and still in my atheist days, greatly reinforcing the attraction to Aristotelian ethics I had even then. (The spine of the light mauve cover of my copy, like that of pretty much any copy printed in the 80s, has long since turned green.) It was, of course, part of a larger body of work which had a similarly great impact on so many people, in philosophy, theology, and beyond. RIP.

@NiceaConference You ought to sell tickets for people who just want to attend the conference, and not a tourist package + 2-day conference for almost 2000$!
@mrbreaker98 Disculpe, con quien hablo? Usar cuentas falsas para esconderse detrás de alguien mas y comentar de manera anónima es profundamente pecaminoso, del padre de mentiras en quien no hay verdad.
About to start my final year a PhD on the political theology of John Owen (1616-1683): Natural Law, Government and (Limited) Religious Tolerance. Four years reading the primary sources of 17th century political theology, only one more year to finish 😃.
@reformedtexan@TheRestHistory There was a relationship between long hair and social class. The longer the hair (i.e. Fairfax, Owen) and (usually) the less beard, the more associated with gentry/puritan.There were other factors and variations.Long beards were uncommon and associated to poorer ppl. Long topic.
