An Interview with Michael Horton
Over at the Ligonier blog Burk Parsons is interviewing Michael Horton (who declares that he does not read any blogs–maybe that is the secret to his productivity). Part two of the interview reveals that Horton was only a teenager when he wrote the first version of Putting Amazing Back Into Grace, a long-time favorite book of mine.


The Esse of Reformed
Michael Haykin looks at what it means to be Reformed and whether Baptists can properly qualify.


The Costs of Medical Care
Thomas Sowell: “We are incessantly being told that the cost of medical care is “too high”– either absolutely or as a growing percentage of our incomes.
