After all, I get very few visitors per day when compared to the popular blogs on my blog roll. But I suppose I have to delete off-topic comments.<br /><br />Please understand, I welcome <i>interaction</i>, <i>participation</i>, and <i>discussion</i>. What I do not welcome is spam comments, taken from something random readers have written before, in another context, and not even considering the context of the original post <i>here</i>.<br /><br />If someone has something to say about the fathers' understanding of the doctrine of justification by grace through faith alone, then their comments are welcome on this post. If someone has something <i>else</i> to say, well... then say it somewhere <i>else</i>.<br /><br />Thank you.Mike Riccardihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06748453197783538367noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4113304925268156622.post-77024693198286190352010-09-01T01:40:30.199-04:002010-09-01T01:40:30.199-04:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4113304925268156622.post-16617873537215317552010-08-29T16:23:44.437-04:002010-08-29T16:23:44.437-04:00Michael Gormley and a39greenway,
Sorry, that'...<b>Michael Gormley</b> and <b>a39greenway</b>, <br /><br />Sorry, that's not how it works here. My blog is not a bulletin board for you to cut and paste from your previous writings on your aberrant theology and pet issues. If you have something to say about what I've posted, then you can interact with that. Otherwise, move it along.Mike Riccardihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06748453197783538367noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4113304925268156622.post-68652596512454180272010-05-30T18:15:41.093-04:002010-05-30T18:15:41.093-04:00Mike,

Of course leaving seminary doesn't really solve that problem; at least it hasn't for me. I want to read everything, and soak up all the great resources the Lord has blessed us here with in the West. <br /><br />The book we used for Patristic Theology is J.N.D. Kelly's book: <em>Early Christian Doctrines</em> --- I think one of the standard textbooks on this era of theology (another must read).<br /><br />Glad to have you sharing from your studies in seminary; I enjoy it, keep it up!Bobby Growhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06831009618873548948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4113304925268156622.post-39269723518846039262010-05-30T18:00:32.651-04:002010-05-30T18:00:32.651-04:00Hey Bobby,

Thanks for stopping by!<br /><br />I haven't read Ayres' book, but it definitely looks like a go-to book for the fourth century. <br /><br />Just finishing up my first year in seminary, I'm in that stage where I'm interested in everything, and just wish I could read everything I see. Unfortunately, the Matrix-method of downloading information into our brains hasn't been invented yet. :-)<br /><br />I'll definitely keep Ayres' book in mind if my studies ever plunge me back into patristics.Mike Riccardihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06748453197783538367noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4113304925268156622.post-73316318414744699472010-05-30T17:45:51.977-04:002010-05-30T17:45:51.977-04:00I highly enjoy Patristic Theology; probably more s...I highly enjoy Patristic Theology; probably more so than Reformation theology. Thanks for sharing this.<br /><br />Have you read Lewis Ayres' book: <em>Nicaea and Its Legacy: An Approach to Fourth-Century Trinitarian Theology</em>? I started it, but need to get back to it; it is an excellent work on discussing this era of Christianity.Bobby Growhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06831009618873548948noreply@blogger.com
