The Theology of the French Reformed Churches: From Henry IV to the Revocation of the Edict of Nantes
by
today the consensus of sixteenth-century scholars is that the growth and organization of the Reformed faction in France into congregations was caused by pastors and books sent illegally into France from Geneva in the 1550s and early 1560s.
“WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT this statement? “A backyard bird feeder will help take the stress out of your life.” A friend of mine uses that line to promote her birding shop in Barnegat, New Jersey. It’s warm, appealing, and will, with luck, help her turn a lot of people on to birding. However, with no offense to my friend, stress-free bird feeding falls into the same category as painless dentistry.”

“The place we unconsciously strive toward is what ancient philosophers of habit called our telos—our goal, our end. But the telos we live toward is not something that we primarily know or believe or think about; rather, our telos is what we want, what we long for, what we crave.

“Admitting that one’s life rested on some sort of faith was, in Kuyper’s mind, simply a matter of intellectual honesty. To deny faith’s role, to claim pure objectivity and rationality, was a “culpable blindfolding” of the self (Encyclopedia, 152). Moderns who declared that they could transcend the superstitions of faith and ground their thought “exclusively upon the action of the senses” were, according to Kuyper, “entirely mistaken, and allow themselves a leap to which they have no right” (Encyclopedia, 132). Every system of human thought pivoted on some deep fulcrum,”

“On Fifth Avenue I went into the Trump Tower, a new skyscraper. A guy named Donald Trump, a developer, is slowly taking over New York, building skyscrapers all over town with his name on them, so I went in and had a look around. The building had the most tasteless lobby I had ever seen --- all brass and chrome and blotchy red and white marble that looked like the sort of thing that if you saw it on the sidewalk you would walk around it. Here it was everywhere --- on the floors, up the walls , on the ceiling. It was like being inside somebody's stomach after he'd eaten pizza.”
