We must also lessen the number of theological books, and choose the best; for it is not the number of books that make the learned man; nor much reading, but good books often read, however few, make a man learned in the Scriptures and pious. – Martin Luther

Learning to Love by James Russell Miller

Learning to Love by James Russell Miller

Learning to love is a long lesson. It takes all of the longest life to learn it. The most inveterate obstacle in mastering the lesson is self, which persists with an energy which nothing but divine grace can overcome. When no longer we seek our own in any of our relations with others, we have learned to love. Until then we still need to stay in Christ's school.

The Life of Philip Melanchthon by Joseph Stump

The Life of Philip Melanchthon by Joseph Stump

The life of so distinguished a servant of God as Melanchthon deserves to be better known to the general reader than it actually is.

The New Theology: S. S. Schmucker And Its Other Defenders by James Allen Brown (1821-1882)

The New Theology: S. S. Schmucker And Its Other Defenders by James Allen Brown (1821-1882)

Suffice it to say that faith is faith, and not obedience, or love or delight in God, or any other distinct grace or virtue. Nor does the Bible say being justified by obedience, or love, or delight, or good works, but 'being justified by faith, we have peace with God.'
