"My last review on page 51 talked about how the book is packing too much information into a dense format, making it challenging to understand all the various data structures and methods of R. I was tempted to go back and re-read the first 51 pages, so I really understand how R works. But instead I pressed on.
The next ten pages (51-61) give more examples of how to use R, and it's getting easier to understand." — Feb 14, 2024 02:20PM

“Luther and Calvin believed that both the Roman church on the right and the Zwinglian and Anabaptist churches on the left made the Lord's Supper too much a place WHERE BELIEVERS DID THINGS FOR GOD - either by offering Christ to God (Rome) or by offering their deep devotion to God (the Radical Protestants).
