@shawnpaterson Had this exact thought. Definitely hardcore on RPW; probably an abortion abolitionist

Honestly, the more I read about JN Darby the more I like him. Serious Christian, serious student of Scripture. Genuinely brilliant scholar.

(millions must read @GribbenC's Darby book)

As Mr. Gibbon recounts: "...I involved myself in the philosophical maze of the writings of Plato, of which the dramatic is perhaps more interesting than the argumentative part."

[Ancient Language Institute @theancientlang]

When you first pick up the world's most famous work of philosophy, Plato's Republic, you might be surprised to find that it starts with Socrates describing a day trip he took with his friend Glaucon to check out a festival happening just outside Athens. Where are the syllogisms? Where is the metaphysics? It does not seem very grand, at least at first.

@IVMiles Depends on where you're from, I guess

Why does this hymn keep showing up in Reformed hymnals? It's written by a Recusant celebrating Roman Catholic martyrs from the Reformation

[Nik Storm 🐗 @nikthestorm]

“Faith of our fathers, holy faith! We will be true to thee till death.”

[Lucius Cæcilius @F_Lactantius]

@JoffreSwait Not sure of the propriety of singing it in church but you'll pry Battle Hymn from my cold, dead Yankee hands

@_CardinalNewman From Anglo-Catholics,

Good Lord, deliver us

[Lucius Cæcilius @F_Lactantius]

@miltonappl3 Pay attention to the parallels between Sinon's/the Greeks' entry into Troy and Aeneas'/Achates' entry into Carthage

[Lucius Cæcilius @F_Lactantius]

@glennbutner Thanks for sharing!

[Lucius Cæcilius @F_Lactantius]

@postnuance Does he mention anything about Lactantius' De ave phoenice? Interested to know if the work was current among Protestants

[Lucius Cæcilius @F_Lactantius]

@BMcGrewvy The Adventures in Odyssey reference betrays your true identity

Evangelical homeschoolers will save the world (or at least use archaisms learned from books to describe it as it burns)

I'm thrilled to announce my debut feature article for @thelampmagazine, a personal essay about my childhood and my parents' library. Many thanks to Matthew and Nic for giving this piece a home.

It boggles the mind how one could think this. Calvin's section on prayer (III.20) is a standing monument to the man's deep piety, confidence in the goodness of God, and affection for his readers.

[Fr. Ryan Hilderbrand @FrHilderbrand]

I'll say this much - Calvin's "Institutes" is one of the finest theological works put out by any of the Protestant Reformers.

Unfortunately, it is a work empty of mysticism and love. Its pages are like the winter sun - all light and no warmth. That causes too many errors.
