• Foxe’s Book of Martyrs: American Edition (The Sacred Sandwich)

• Five posts adaptied from Phil Johnson’s other seminar at this year’s Shepherd’s Conference: What Is an Evangelical?; Scripture and Evangelical Conviction; The History of Evangelicalism (Part 1); The History of Evangelicalism (Part 2); Where Evangelicalism Went Astray (Part 1). (Check back at Pulpit Magazine tomorrow for the last post in the series.)
