    Reformed View of the Supper in the Early Church?

    I love church history, and I also love seeing my beliefs being affirmed by the church fathers. I know the early church almost universally believed in the real presence of Christ, was this belief similar to the Reformed view of real presence? Are there any good quotes from the early centuries...

    What happened to the English Presbyterian non-conformists after 1662? Did the ejected ministers of such persuations survive, preservere and maintain some sort of presence? Or were they succesfully supressed and forced out of existance? If there was such a movement, did they have any ties with...

    Covenanting prior to the National Covenant

    What is the history of doing these covenants between the ascension of Christ and the Scottish Covenants? Where can one find these covenants from Geneva, Hungary, Holland and France? In other words, what is the historical background of the idea of entire societies making a covenant with God?

    Presbyterian & Reformed Authors

    I have always been told to look at authors not just from my tradition (Presbyterian/Reformed), but also from other traditions within Christianity. As such, I have come to understand and appreciate much of John Piper, even though there are many things with which I would be in disagreement with...

    Question about Exclusive Psalmody

    This is a question that I was asked by a friend who is not completely on board with EP, but I don't have an answer and am curious myself. So this may be more for those who have a conviction of the EP position, but wouldn't mind hearing from anyone who might have valid input. So my question is...

    What Happened to the Church the Moment the Apostles Died?

    So, I was reading Ignatius today so that I can say (over time, of course) that I have read the works of the Church Fathers (I know that Ignatius isn't the only Church Father, but I'm starting with the Apostolic Fathers and moving forward), and I was shocked at what Ignatius, who was supposedly...

    Identifying Historical/Cultural Blind Spots

    English Reformation

    I am looking for a good single volume history of the English Reformation for an advanced reading group I am in. Hetherington was a good start, but he was more narrowly concerned with the Westminster Assembly. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks!
