This discussion on the Covenant of Works between Scott Swain and Derek Rishmawy is incredible.
Here, Dr Swain explains how to understand positive law vs natural law under the commands of the Covenant of Works. It is masterful.

“Although we do not deny that the word "grace" is sometimes taken metonymically for the gifs of grace, we nevertheless deny that the grace by which we are justified is anything other than God's free favor and mercy.”
— Bl. Abraham Calov, Systema theologicorum, Vol. X, Art. II, Cap. II, Q. 1.

Very happy to announce I will be presenting my paper, “Distinction Without Composition: Voetius, Scotus, and the Formal Distinction” in Utrecht on November 12 at the “Footprints of Gisbertus Voetius: His Teachings, Networks, and Legacies” conference.

Just because the death penalty came up in an RC context, it is always fascinating to see "doctrine develop" before your eyes.
Here is the catechism of St. Pius in 1908?

MereO has put together a powerful online tool for reading old Christian books. The Faith Received, though still in beta mode, is kind of a moon shot for retrieval. Congrats to @StvenWithAnI, @ianharber & co for hopping over numerous hurdles to get this started. A few thoughts:

I wrote something about how hopeful I am about the zoomers coming up and the challenges I am seeing in the generations relating to each other well. I am sure I don't do this right all the time, but it is something I am trying to commit to now.

I have seen the Beta and current versions. This is a tremendous resource for preaching and research.
Today we're releasing a brand new resource called The Faith Received.
It's a massive online library and research tool featuring nearly 20,000 primary sources across church history.
You can see it here: thefaithreceived.com
And read about it here: mereorthodoxy.com/announcing…

"Thousands of these works have long been available only to highly specialized readers. The volumes of the Latin Fathers, for example, have gathered dust in a handful of university libraries, while the theologians who wrote the Reformed confessions relied on texts that most Christians could not access. Now those works are here for you to read."

“First, the Scotists and Nominalists respond that grace does not have from its own nature the power of expelling sin, but expels it in fact from an extrinsic disposition of God decreeing to destroy sin wherever grace is first infused — a grace that otherwise could, with no violence done to it, be conjoined with sin, without any miracle intervening in this conjunction... This was the assertion of the Lutheran heretics, and the Council of Trent condemned it.”
— De Salmanticenses, T. XV, Disp. II, Dub. IV.
That faith which exact righteousness presupposeth is of God (as they speak in Schools) per modum naturae: But the Faith required in the Covenant of Grace, is of God, but per modum gratiae supernaturalis.
John Ball, Treatise on the Covenant of Grace, Ch. 2
"How that faith, which the exact justice in the covenant of nature presupposeth, differs from that faith which is required in the covenant of grace?"
But if the Faith and Holiness of Adam was changeable, how could he be secure, or free from distracting fears; the answer is, the mind of Adam, which was wholly fixed, and set in the admiration and sense of God’s goodness, could not admit of such thoughts;
