The Poems of William Cowper...ya know the fella who wrote, "There is a Fountain Filled with Blood."
I have a question maybe you folks can help me with. His name is Cowper...is it said Cow (like the animal) per or Cooper?
I've heard it both ways.
Thanks.
I read about him in Wikipedia a few days ago. He wrote hymns and poetry. He also struggled with bouts of insanity. I looked him up because GK Chesterton mentioned in his book Orthodoxy.
yes , I have been in his old house , it's now a museum , you may be interested to know his back garden backed onto John Newton's (amazing grace) back garden , they were best of friends and both confirmed Calvinists . Their homes are in Olney village some 6 or 7 miles from me on the Bedford road , which is where John Bunyan lived !
John Gill lived in Kettering , about 12 miles from here , John Wycliffe lived at Lutterworth , about 25 miles from here , and James Hervey lived about 2 Miles from here in the village next to mine , I could do a bus tour when ye all come over
WOW ... That is cool. When I make over to that side the Atlantic again I be sure to check in with you.

Just began reading "What is Reformed Theology?: Understanding the Basics" by R.C. Sproul.
That book is a great introduction. Many books introducing Reformed Theology don't cover the covenantal aspect, but that one does in the second part of the book.
