A number of years ago I was invited to give two talks at a major Reformed conference in America.
I was thrilled by the invitation as I had enormous respect – and still do, I need to add – for the ministry behind the conference.
I suggested that I give both lectures on the second-century apologetic pearl, The Letter to Diognetus. One of the organisers wrote back to say that it would be preferable for me to speak on an era after the Protestant Reformation.
