Ask Mr. Religion
Flatly Unflappable
Received this email from Samuel Logan of the WRF today, in part:
"Last week, I was contacted by a senior administrator of the Jonathan Edwards Center (JEC) at Yale University. This administrator is himself a member of the World Reformed Fellowship which means that he is personally committed to the WRF statement on Scripture and to one of the Confessions of Faith which the WRF recognizes (in this administrator's case, it is the Three Forms of Unity).
The communication I received indicated that the JEC has completed its multi-million-dollar project of completely digitizing all of the works of Jonathan Edwards (including all of his sermons and his Miscellanies) in a very easily searchable format. The communication further indicated that the Center is planning: 1) to create university-level and seminary-level courses on Edwards, which courses are based on the digitized material and 2) to identify specific educational centers around the world through which to distribute both the materials and the courses.
Finally, the communication indicated that the Center wanted to talk with the World Reformed Fellowship about these plans for the future and asked me if I would meet representatives of the Center in New York City to explore these possibilities. [One of the reasons given for their interest in working with the WRF is the fact that the digitized Works of Edwards are now receiving an average of 27,000 unique hits per month and that the majority of those hits are coming from pastors and other ministry leaders around the world, the very group which the WRF serves.] "
