I hope to be spending some time on these things moving forward.

It's more proof that the Reformation didn't come out of nowhere, was not a simple novelty, and actually WAS both good and necessary.Tim Enloehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00496999199258689044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6789188.post-46838687890403904142012-09-26T20:49:54.179-04:002012-09-26T20:49:54.179-04:00Thanks Blake :-)Thanks Blake :-)John Bugayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17728044301053738095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6789188.post-80551606803849040612012-09-26T19:50:34.631-04:002012-09-26T19:50:34.631-04:00My name is Blake Reas, so I am not pseydonymous an...My name is Blake Reas, so I am not pseydonymous anymore. :) I read Tblog all the time.<br /><br />BlakeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6789188.post-44579398363178605262012-09-26T14:45:49.918-04:002012-09-26T14:45:49.918-04:00We have to be on the lookout for pseudonymous auth...We have to be on the lookout for pseudonymous authors these days!John Bugayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17728044301053738095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6789188.post-23641578046271455232012-09-26T14:40:26.037-04:002012-09-26T14:40:26.037-04:00Oh, I know.

It was to work to establish the context in history for the Reformation of Luther's times, and to show readers today why there was a need for a Reformation in that day. Certainly the Roman problem of pedophilia, and hiding pedophiles, is far more extensive than it ever was. Doctrinally, Rome was very bad as well. I think if we understand the context of <i>that</i> Reformation, it will help us to think through some of the issues we face today.John Bugayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17728044301053738095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6789188.post-26606470745117253952012-09-25T08:00:13.305-04:002012-09-25T08:00:13.305-04:00So if he said this about Florence, I wonder what w...So if he said this about Florence, I wonder what we should say about America.
