Israeli Academics Question Archaeological Discoveries
Thirty-four Israeli scholars have signed a statement protesting the announcement of biblical archaeological discoveries before proper peer review.

I went Reformed partly for Calvin&#;s strong doctrine of the sacraments. They have become central to my understanding of the Church, the preaching of the Gospel, and the practice of the faith in a way they never were befor
