John Frame’s new book, The Escondido Theology, is finally out and available. I commend it to you. After you have read it, you may then google up responses/reviews to it, clamber into your canoe of irencism, and paddle all over a small mountain lake of snark.
Four Kinds of Puritan
I just recently finished a magnificent book, The Puritan Origins of American Patriotism, and a taxonomical breakdown occurred to me. I thought I’d share.

My wife Nancy recently wrote a book entitled Why Isn’t a Pretty Girl Like You Married? The subitle goes “And Other Useful Comments,” indicating that the title does not directly reflect the views of the board, management, or staff of Canon Press.
