  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

Hi everyone!

I'm wanting to find some really good books on the following subjects. I know you guys can point me in the right direction!

A complete history of the Protestant Reformation, an authoritative biography of the life of John Calvin and how his theology progressed (I just finished with "Here I Stand: Life of Martin Luther" by Bainton - VERY good!), and something dealing specifically with the issues Calvin raised against Lutheranism and how he resolved them (If such a thing exists - I'm sure it deos somewhere).

Thanks in advance!

:thumbsup:

Look over the writings of J.H. Merle D'Aubigne. I read his Triumph of Truth and really appreciate his writing. He wrote much on the Reformation and also on Luther.

Thanks! I will look him up!
