Yesterday I received my copy of James Durham's "Christ Crucified" from Naphtali Press. It is beautifully bound and I am really enjoying the editor's preface.

Thanks, Chris!

When heresy rises in an evangelical body, it is never frank and open. It always begins by skulking, and assuming a disguise. Its advocates, when together, boast of great improvements, and congratulate one another on having gone greatly beyond the ‘old dead orthodoxy,’ and on having left behind many of its antiquated errors: but when taxed with deviations from the received faith, they complain of the unreasonableness of their accusers, as they ‘differ from it only in words.’ This has been the standing course of errorists ever since the apostolic age. Samuel Miller, Introductory essay, The Articles of the Synod of Dort (1841).

It might have been waiting for me for as long as a week due to busy-ness. (We don't have USPS delivery in my town.) No worries on my end. I just have to quit my job now so that I can read it.

BTW, Chris, my Bible really needs to be rebound. I have seen binding kits on sale on the internet. Or should I find a professional? Can you do it? How much etc?

Sorry, I don't know how and I don't know about the kits (others feel free to opine). I would get a pro to do it.

It certainly will be a time investment. Imagine me though; I had to read it over, and over and over again... to edit and proof it.

No mailmen in Wrightwood? What kind of Commie burg is that town?

By the way, I understand that Robert Redford has bought the movie rights for "Christ Crucified" from Chris...

Faith and repentance are born together and aid the health of each other. - Charles Spurgeon (1834-1892), on July 23, 1865

Wrightwood is a mountain town on the wrong side of the mountain. It is mainly a haven for cultists, occultists, and steely-eyed Calvinists. Ken, isn't the village about four square blooks? [Actually, that may be a bit of an exaggeration. It is pretty isolated, however].

Yes, it is isolated. We are listed as pop 3000, I think, but the full-time residency is much less. It was pretty much founded by mormons and boasts 30+ professing witches.

Funny story... A friend of my wife's works occasionally as a wedding coordinator. She was hired by witch to do her lesbian witch wedding. (She agreed to do it for reasons not relevant to the story.) In attendance were many witches (hetero and homo) and my wife's friend. During the strange ceremony the high priestess says, "I found a beautiful fortune in a chinese fortune cookie yesterday and I want to share it with you." She pulls it out of her pocket and she reads, "For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh."

No matter what kind of pagan shenanigans (sp) are going on, God is still going to get His Word in! He is so unpredictable.

Chris, I have several thousand books in my library including many of the Jonathan Edwards volumes from Yale and NONE of them are as nicely bound as the new Christ Crucified volume from Naphtali Press. What a beautiful job was done! The pages are a very heavy bond. The font is extremely crisp and clear. Gorgeous. Just gorgeous.

Between Naphtali Press' Durham volumes and The Confessional Presbyterian, Naphtali is becoming one of my favorite publishers. I truly can't wait to get this year's TCP.
