That was great, Chris! Kudos to your pastor for a job well done! :up: I especially enjoyed the first paragraph -- great intro! :pilgrim:

Books, they say, are a preacher’s whiskey. Like many students of theology and Church History, my study walls are encrusted with volume after volume beckoning me to, as C.S. Lewis once said in his essay, On the Reading of Old Books, “work my way through a bit of tough theology with a pipe in my teeth and a pencil in my hand.” One of the first things one sees rounding the corner into my study is a rather large set of books containing the writings of the Early Church Fathers. They sit there, inviting me to come with them to times when doctrine was fiercely contended for and the life of the Church rested upon fine points of debate in theology. Long, about the middle of this big set of books, is one tome – just one amidst thirty-seven others in this series, by one man – a small man, we are told. His name is Athanasius.

I've read a lot of his papers. He is an excellent writer and I encourage him to write more. I'm excited form him to get his degree work done so he can write more. We are truly blessed to have him as a pastor. He is in the mode of the puritan pastor/scholar. His passion for Christ and His church is amazing. I couldn't be interning under anyone better.

For anyone that is near Charlotte, N.C., he is teaching a weeklong course at RTS Charlotte on Jonathan Edwards. If you're close, check it out!
