Justin Taylor reminds us that today is the anniversary of William Cowper’s death and posts a short video about Cowper’s life.

William Cowper is one of my favorite hymn writers and his life story fascinates me. Here are a few things I’ve posted about him.

• There Is A Fountain
• God Moves In A Mysterious Way
• On Cowper’s Grave

Atonement
Theory or doctrine? at Against Heresies.
