Ja, synes egentlig det. Her i Nord Norge virker det for øvrig som om de har mer sans for ham. Apropos Nord Norge, nå har jeg oppdaget Oluf lol.
Uff nei, da foretrekker jeg Leif Juster (og Arve Opsahl) :D

Han er morsom, har sett på Olsen banden:p. Men aller best av de komikerne liker jeg Fleksnes. Er det Wesenlund han heter?

De som snakker Engelsk og Norsk om hverandre? Har sett den med ungene av og til, men det er lenge siden sist tror jeg.

Ja. Vet ikke helt hvorfor men synes ikke han er så morsom.
(Men jeg er rar selv da, så kan jo ikke være enig med alle andre :p )

Presently, I'm slogging through Jonathan Edwards' collected works. It's my 2017 project.

Hence the profile picture.

Can someone translate what's going on here? I think they are planning to raid a monastery or seize England from Harold Godwinson.

If the latter is the case, I will start writing in French to one-up you. :p

I treated myself the other day and picked up a new book at the bookstore. The Seven Storey Mountain by Thomas Merton. Heard good things about it, and the few pages I scanned through in the store looked good, so I am hoping it is as good a book as reviewers say it is.

No, nothing like that. But they DID mention Nazi sympathizers! *And the plot thickens*.

Boy, "slogging" is the word. Have you yet read anything about the negative reaction to his Sinners In The Hands of an Angry God sermon? I think he wrote about that somewhere around six years after the sermon.

Rereading The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne with some posters over on Christian Forums. If you don't have enough internet in your life, get a user id over there and join the conversation. It is a thread on the Books forum which I think is a subforum of the Hobby Forum there.

I have not read his response to the negative reaction toward his sermon.

My guess is that is in the autobiographical writings/memoirs. I have not touched them yet.

It's a real shame that moderns wade about as far into his writings beyond a few provocative paragraphs in "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God." His other great works are cerebral, but it's obvious that Edwards was a man who knew the love of Christ and reflected it into the lives of others.

To my actual shock, I have found his writings inspiring in a very direct way. He lived by Luke 10:27

Yeah, that one negative sermon, alone, was enough to turn off millions to anything else positive he had to say. Too bad.

Man you have me looking at my outline as a refresher.

Here is what I marked in the margins of my notes at the end, and it is still something I am trying to figure out:

"I wonder if the sections of what appears to be hyperbole are necessary. Is this a function of revivalism or something fundamental to Edwards' character?"

It's one of the few questions I asked or statements I have written that are biographical in nature. Except something on another sermon on the Songs of Solomon written later on.
