Brother Adam Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 I like to always keep a couple of Protestant texts on my shelves to help in ecumenical dialogue. What texts do you consider the most important on the Protestant side of the fence, such as Calvin's Institutes of a Christian Religion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sojourner Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 The preacher at the Baptist church I went to for a while had a bunch of sermons written by a famous theologian whose name I cannot recall right now ... it started with an "S" ... Jonathan Edwards is another good one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[right][snapback]923772[/snapback][/right] [/quote] Yeah. I have his large and small catechisms. I remember reading them and ripping right through how much of it was unbiblical when I was a Lutheran. It sent my pastor into a panic .Of course then I became a Baptist. lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paladin Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 I hear Moody's work was pretty influential in America. Also some European fellow... Can't remember his name... Scandanavian guy, I believe...

Why does that guy even bother being the bishop for a Savior he clearly doesn't even believe in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Adam Posted March 27, 2006 Author Share Posted March 27, 2006 I'm thinking more foundational than influential. primary texts like luther's catechism and Calvin's institutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
