Reformation Faith Today

We are pleased to add Dr. Sean Lucas’ blog to the blogroll. Dr. Lucas is the Chief Academic Officer and Associate Professor of Church History at Covenant Theological Seminary, St. Louis. He is also now a contributor to the Reformation 21 blog.

Here is a recent sample from Dr. Lucas’ blog as he quotes Horatius Bonar

Many of our young men are more afraid of being reckoned Calvinistic than Platonic; they shrink from bold and definite statements of Reformation doctrine, lest they should be pronounced “not abreast of the age”–stereotyped, if not imbecile. Indefinite language, mystical utterances, negative or defective statements, which will save the speaker’s or writer’s orthodoxy without compromising his reputation for “intellect” and “liberality”–these are becoming common. Many are doing their best to serve two masters, to preach two gospels, to subscribe two confessions of faith, to worship two Gods, to combine to religions, to grasp two worlds; they would fain be neither very evangelical nor very heretical.

The quote above is from his post On Trading Fidelity to Past Truth for Present Relevancy.
