I noticed that the reading of John Calvins "The Institutes" is to begin Jan 1. I have never read the institutes, I know their importance and the significence of them, but I have never read the 2 book writing. So I will join others on the Princeton Theological Seminary website and begin the reading. I found a copy at Amazon on sale for $50 and I had a $25 gift certificate so got the two books withfree shipping at a $60 savings. Now I am committed. You read (you can actually listen online) each day except Sunday and Christmas and finish by the end of the year. There are papers written each week by scholars and you are invited to leave comments anytime. So there is no excuse and I hope I can encourage others to join me and we can have a weekly discussion group. Aaron had encouraged each of us on COM to read it this year, but he didn't tell us about this opportunity.
I will be reading and hopefully understanding. It is a good thing to use your mind. Use it or lose it and I can't afford to lose anymore of it. Good Sabbath
About Me
- Rosella
- I just love life and everything that goes into it. My church is important to me and my work in the larger church is my delight. My family is my lifeline, especially my precious grandaughters and my new great grandaughter. Well, my kids are right up there, too. I own a business that my daughter and I began over 20 years ago. She left me with it when they moved to New Jersey and it is why I get up every morning. I have been blessed with good health and happiness and enough money to have a pleasant life. God has been good to me.
