Recommended Reading

It has been too long since I posted some recommended reading from other blogs and Web sites. I will remedy this today.

Matt Hall has accepted my request for an article and has written about the differences in understandings on communion between Luther, Calvin and Zwingli. Check it out here.

JollyBlogger has announced the first ever Carnival of the Reformation which should interest any Reformed bloggers out there.
