Inquiétude Review

3 skull pyramid-Cezanne
Here’s a new amazon review for Inquiétude. It’s by Jared Leonard (Georgia USA) who not only helped to edit the book but also contributed to an appendix. This could be seen as a conflict of interest (if there were any interest), but let’s just say no one is as familiar with this material as he is.

Covenant Renewal Worship vs. Paedosacraments

Horeb - Gerome

Music and Hermeneutics

Orchestra

By James B. Jordan, at Theopolis Institute.

Is The World Getting Worse?

by J. D. King

A former colleague disclosed his anxiety about the violence in the Middle East. Of particular concern for him were the brutal onslaughts against Christians by an organization known as ISIS.
