I'm pleased to say if all goes well the 2008 issue of The Confessional Presbyterian should go to the printer soon if the last items due come in this week on time. Below is the contents as it shaped up; pagination toward the end is iffy so it is not given. I'm happy with all of it but point out things of interest for the PB, such as items by members Matthew Winzer (review of Nick Needham; stellar work) and Scott Clark's article on Olevianus, Danny Hyde's piece on Owen and Liturgies, Guido's Brother (Wes Bredenhof's) Martyrdom, Mission and the Belgic Confession, and GreenBaggins (Lane Keister's) exegesis of 1 Tim 2:8-15 (Lane also has a book review). The issue weighs in at a whopping 312 pages surpassing last year's 304. Show your support; renew now, subscribe if you haven't; and buy those back issues! :)

Is it possible to post a synopsis of the "American Presbyterianism, Geology, and the Days of Creation" article by Dr. Smith?
 
I'm pleased to say if all goes well the 2008 issue of The Confessional Presbyterian should go to the printer soon if the last items due come in this week on time.

Are you planning to make online subscriptions and downloads available?

You can pay for subscriptions online; but as far as digital versions, while I occasionally post some material for buzz and advertising purposes (see the articles section at the website) there are no plans yet to make the journal available in an "e" form.

Chris,

I tried to subscribe. But, when it got to executing, it popped up Randy's address in IN!!! Just because I didn't get to meet him last week while in IN is no reason to be sending my subscription to someone in Speedway! Evidently you are having some technical glitches with your web site ordering software. Please advise.
 
Wonderful; and Rich is on the road. I'll try to clear the buffer and see if that does anything. I really need to upgrade to a beefier pay processing package. Thanks for letting me know. I can send you both direct links to renew/subscribe. Send me an email to [email protected].

shame on you for not telling me.

BTW, you can subscribe and pay for my subscription also.
 
no problems with my order.

I hope it makes the long way over the atlantic...

Reading Dr. Clark's book on the Substance ob the Covenant, I'm quite excited about this Olevian guy,
maybe it's because he's a fellow-countryman of mine ... ;-)
 
Yes; no problem. It is very strange. Thanks very much for subscribing.

I hear there's a great article on the Lord's Supper during the Scottish Reformation featured in the 2006 volume.

:D
 
No.:um: I'm ham strung at the moment; hopefully Rich and I can come up with a solution by the end of the day. Right now if anyone reading this wants to subscribe or renew or buy issues, drop me a note and I can arrange it on the back end and bypass the cart.
 
Ok; thank much to Rich, the CPJ store is back up and updated!

I have purchased the previous editions and want to order this one. How do I know if I am subscribed (which I assume will generate a shipment to me automatically) or if I should order and pay for just this year's edition?

Thanks!

Conrad
 
You have to renew every year. You can purchase the 2008 at the web store. I am also emailing notices so apologies if you get one of those later today or tomorrow.
