 PrintableVersion Watching the webDr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones once said that, for preachers, the more they properly studied church history the better the preacher they would be. There is no doubt some truth for all of us in that, whether preachers or not, and the internet is an excellent place to start learning. A website, properly designed, aims to present more than just printed pages; it invites the viewer to interact with information that is visual, dynamic and audible. A site like this devoted to church history could make for a fun and informative experience for people of all ages. There is nothing quite that grand available yet, but the excellent presentation of the history of the English Bible at http://www.williamtyndale.com/ is a definite step inn the right direction. Tyndale visited Martin Luther in 1525 and there is a free library of the latter’s works at http://www.iclnet.org/pub/resources/text/wittenberg/wittenberg-luther.html, including his monumental commentary on Galatians. Like http://www.ccel.org/c/calvin/, which has the best collection of Calvin’s works, this is a plain text site, useful for specific research. Also recommended is an interesting new blogsite dedicated to discussing and researching all things Puritan at http://theconventicle.blogspot.com, which is run by graduate students at the University of Edinburgh. The Presbyterian site http://www.apuritansmind.com has useful timelines of Reformation history. Finally, for information about Christian blogging in general Ð what it is all about and its range and scope Ð look no further than http://www.adrian.warnock.info. Warnock is firmly established as the UK’s blogger-in-chief, recently interviewing Mark Dever, of 9marks and Capitol Hill Baptist Church fame, for the site.
