Rationalism Is The Most Recent, But Not The Least Violent And Insidious, Of All The Developments Of Skepticism. We Purpose To Show Its Historical Position, And To Present, As Faithfully As Possible, Its Antagonism To Evangelical Christianity. The Guardians Of The Interests Of The Church Cannot Excuse Themselves From Effort Toward The Eradication Of This Error By Saying That It Is One Which Will Soon Decay By The Force Of Its Natural Autumn. Posterity Will Not Hesitate To Charge Us With Gross Negligence If We Fail To Appreciate The Magnitude Of Rationalism, And Only Deal With It As The Growth Of A Day. We Have Half Conquered An Enemy When We Have Gained A Full Knowledge Of His Strength. [more]

Some French Clergymen, Who Were Sojourning In Berlin In 1842, Asked Neander, "What Ought To Be Done To Arouse The Protestants Of France To Thinking Upon Theological Subjects?" "Give Yourselves No Trouble On That Score," Replied The Professor; "Theology Will Yet Have Its Good Day Among You. You Have In France The Soil In Which True Theology Loves To Germinate And Grow--I Mean Christian Life. This Has Brought You Your Great Theologians Of The Sixteenth And Seventeenth Centuries, And It Is Sure To Do The Same Thing In The Nineteenth." The Present Century Has Not Yet Run Two-Thirds Of Its Course, And Yet The Prophecy Has Been Literally Fulfilled. [more]

John Foxe (1516/17[1] – 18 April 1587) was an English historian and martyrologist, the author of Actes and Monuments (popularly known as Foxe's Book of Martyrs), an account of Christian martyrs throughout Western history but emphasizing the sufferings of English Protestants and proto-Protestants from the fourteenth century through the reign of Mary I. Widely owned and read by English Puritans, the book helped mould British popular opinion about the Catholic Church for several centuries.[2]Foxe was born in Boston, in Lincolnshire, England, of a middlingly prominent family[3] and seems to have been an unusually studious and devout child.[4] In about 1534, when he was about sixteen, he entered Brasenose College, Oxford, where he was the pupil of John Hawarden (or Harding), a fellow of the college.[5] In 1535 Foxe was admitted to Magdalen College School, where he may either have been improving his Latin or acting as a junior instructor. He became a probationer fellow in July 1538 and a full fellow the following July. [more]

Instead of getting lost in infinite canon discussions hoping to clarify the question whether there is a right and valid canon being approved by God or not, any interested reader should simply start to transcend his or her prejudice by reading different texts, and the field is huge and extremely interesting. Any diligent student will be astonished of the richness the texts do provide on both, different angles of perspectives and manifold cross connections. The Book of Enoch is an important example in this regard. Many passages in the Book of Revelation can only be understood from the background of Enoch. In order to show that I have added the Book of John of Patmos, but this time not from a Greek translation as usual, but from the so called Syriac Peshitta, which is the Syrian bible and as such very old too. This is also a special reference to those countless Christians who have been recently killed by rebels supported by people telling us of a deep necessity to fight terrorism – you hopefully know what I mean. My thoughts and prayers go out to Syria. The Peshitta is a wonderful and deep witness of biblical words transmitted by those belonging to the oldest Christians in the world. Professional theologians – and I know from what I´m talking – are in large part good and honest people. Many work hard “chewing text by text” in order to find meaning and what is called kerygma, which they are able to preach and say to listening people. But sometimes they talk too much about texts instead of trusting in the power of efficacia we mentioned above. Thus a sermon or speech often becomes more important than the courage to expose mind and soul to a text by oneself. This is the reason many people have not learned simply reading texts by themselves. We live in times of so called secondary literature – important are not original texts demanding patience, time and diligence, but secondary texts on original texts: books on the bible, books on apocrypha, books on pseudepigrapha, books on everything from Pontius till Pilate. But the real challenge is the original text, and it is my intention to have The Book of Enoch and The Revelation published to provide many readers an easy access to amazing and very old texts. Read those words all by yourself! Look for yourself and find cross connections! Find for yourself the hidden treasure in very old texts which have been moved minds and souls of believers at all times! Go, read and see! And have patience… [more]
