just listened to an interesting thing on Mars Hill Audio Journal about Herman Dooyeweerd, who built off Kuyper's work, I believe. Hoping to pick up some of his writings soon.

Ryan I go to RTS Orlando (where John Frame teaches) and I respectfully disagree, as well. I think the rhetoric being thrown around in the One/Two Kingdom debate is very alarming. As if because someone is 2K you would not even read his stuff is ridiculous.

[R.B.]

I've listened to Frame lecture and he is not a good lecturer, so you might be used to his lame lectures and think his other stuff is bad, too. Who said I wouldn't read them? that's just dumb, I just recommend spending time somewhere that is more useful. Ive read Borg and Crossan, I'm not afraid to read people I disagree with. And if you read my comment, Horton is the better of them over in Escondido. I'll disagree that it's just blown out of proportion, some sentences read like, "I would have hated to live under the Law, it must've been miserable."

@Nathan, I'm member of the Reformed Churches in the Netherlands (Liberated), so I would suggest Klaas Schilder of course, if he's translated, Christ en Culture and What is Heaven would be the titles in English. Schilder correct Kuyper at some point and defends calvinism against barthian ideas, but I can't tell on which points, I haven't read that much of him.

Theologians like Kohlbrugge, dr. W. Aalders, A. van de Beek are worth learning Dutch.

What is the 1/2k discussion about anyway? I read a lot about it, but I can't understand correctly what the disscussion is.

[Nathan]

Sorry if I misunderstood. There are definitely people like that here at RTS.
And I do think that it is funny about Frame being a lame lecture, which he is. He simply reads his notes, ugh. But, still a brilliant man worth reading.

Greetings from the South Carolina Lowcountry, I look forward to reading/hearing about books and discussions on reformed theology. I am a member of the Mt.Pleasant Presbyterian church, and descendant of Huguenots and dissenters from England/Scotland who settled in South Carolina during the 1680's.

Piper and Owen are always good - and anything from Monergism Books. We're doing an early church history class right now at our Institute, so I'm reading Athanasius and Eusebius, but I'm pretty sure the next class will be on the Reformation era.

Bob Kauflin is a Reformed Puritan, so you're in good company. Have you read Worship by the Book? D.A. Carson is the general editor, if I remember correctly.

A friend gave me a copy of Horton's The Christian Faith and I loved it. I need to go through it again a few more times at least.

I accidentally added the wrong book title to my earlier post. Here's the right one. Unclaimed Legacy
