blessed thread

I don't have much to contribute other than recommending Ryan Reeves's lectures on Youtube. Really helped me understand church history.

>Luther's face is to me expressive of him; in Kranach's best portraits I find the true Luther. A rude plebeian face; with its huge crag-like brows and bones, the emblem of rugged energy; at first, almost a repulsive face. Yet in the eyes especially there is a wild silent sorrow; an unnamable melancholy, the element of all gentle and fine affections; giving to the rest the true stamp of nobleness. Laughter was in this Luther, as we said; but tears also were there. Tears also were appointed him; tears and hard toil. The basis of his life was Sadness, Earnestness. In his latter days, after all triumphs and victories, he expresses himself heartily weary of living; he considers that God alone can and will regulate the course things are taking, and that perhaps the Day of Judgment is not far. As for him, he longs for one thing: that God would release him from his labor, and let him depart and be at rest. They understand little of the man who cite this in discredit of him!—I will call this Luther a true Great Man; great in intellect, in courage, affection and integrity; one of our most lovable and precious men. Great, not as a hewn obelisk; but as an Alpine mountain,—so simple, honest, spontaneous, not setting up to be great at all; there for quite another purpose than being great! Ah yes, unsubduable granite, piercing far and wide into the Heavens; yet in the clefts of it fountains, green beautiful valleys with flowers! A right Spiritual Hero and Prophet; once more, a true Son of Nature and Fact, for whom these centuries, and many that are to come yet, will be thankful to Heaven.

What was that one document written up after the glorious revolution and the parlementarians won and Cromwell came in? I forgot its name, some anon mentioned it here, but it had a lot of the religious sentiments that where brewing in Britian at the time.

The Westminster Confession?

>> No.19306494

>>19306471
That might possibly be it. Im not sure. It seems like it. there was a thread like 9 months ago on the topic of protestantism and particular tenents of faith and the austerity of it and some anon brought some text up from around the English civil war that he seemed really passionate about. THis might be it. It could be another. But thanks anyways guy, ment to read it, but never got around to it.

Likely it then. It is a very important document for confessional Presbyterians even today along with the Westminster Larger and Shorter Catechisms.

I scream "Light From Old Times" by J.C. Ryle. If focuses on events and people shortly after the English Reformation. Not exhaustive but easy to read. Lots of great extracts from the writings of the people it covers too.

There's no need for a Protestant thread, just Christian will do, which rules out everyone else.

Generic 'Christian' threads seem to get taken down by janny a lot quicker for some reason. Maybe they ctrl+f search for Christian.
