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!
