You’re St. Melito of Sardis! You have a great love of history and liturgy. You’re attached to the traditions of the ancients, yet you recognize that the old world — great as it was — is passing away. You are loyal to the customs of your family, though you do not hesitate to call family members to account for their sins. Find out which Church Father you are at The Way of the Fathers! |
You’re St. Justin Martyr! You have a positive and hopeful attitude toward the world. You think that nature, history, and even the pagan philosophers were often guided by God in preparation for the Advent of the Christ. You find “seeds of the Word” in unexpected places. You’re patient and willing to explain the faith to unbelievers. Find out which Church Father you are at The Way of the Fathers! |

What killed any like of Baptist History for me was the text we used for my Baptist History class, Henry C. Veder's, "A Short History of the Baptists." It was dreadful.
And it's reassuring to know that my dislike of Greek accents isn't just something I have because I'm a bad undergrad.
I once read a sixteen page article on Luke-Acts or Luke/Acts. 16 pages arguing over a - or a / very prosaic if you ask me!
Ironically, there was just a post on Greek accents at Dunhelm Road.
Surely you jest. Baptist history, boring?
Yes. Mind-numbingly so. I've tried for 10 minutes to think of something more boring, but I can't.
Even if you were doomed to repeat it, nothing would happen.
