Book Review: Calvin by Michael Horton
I cannot recommend this volume highly enough for individuals desiring to set aside cardboard “Calvinism” and give a fellow brother in Christ, namely John Calvin, the time of day to express his thoughts in context and practicality.
Eschatology 101: Prophetic Language or Psalm 97:1-5 (Part 3)
