Democratizing Access to Jonathan Edwards

Yale is sponsoring a long-term project to make the archived material of Edwards available as an electronic resource on-line. This means you needn't travel to Yale to study Edwards.

My continued question- why isn't Augsburg Fortress and one of our seminaries engaged in a similar project with Luther's works?

When I want to order newly made icons, this is the first place I go. It's a small skete in Boscobel, Wisconsin that makes high quality contemporary icons, like this one of the Nativity of Christ. Merry Christmas to all!

On the Incarnation

by St. John of the Cross

Then He called an Archangel,
known as Gabriel,
and sent him to a Virgin
known as Mary,

at whose consent
the mystery took place,
in whom the Trinity
clothed the Word with flesh.

And although three performed the deed,
it was done through the one;
and the Word lived Incarnate
in Mary's womb.

And He Who had only a Father
now had a Mother too,
but she was not like others
who are conceived by man.

From her own flesh
He received His flesh
so He is called
the Son of God and of man.
