Theology on the Web group launched on Facebook

I have created a new group on Facebook called Theology on the Web. I am hoping that it will serve both to raise the profile of my websites and provide a forum for visitors to provide feedback on current and future projects. Feel free to sign up.

F.F. Bruce on the Lessons of Church History

The following article is now on-line in PDF:

F.F. Bruce, "Church History and Its Lessons," J.B. Watson, ed., The Church: A Symposium. London: Pickering & Inglis, Ltd., 1949. pp.178-95.

George Santayana famous said that "Those who fail to learn the lessons that history teaches, are doomed to repeat them". It is therefore helpful to some of the lessons that Church History can teach today's Church regarding the form and ministry of the Church, the Church's relationship to the State and the Church's mission.
