• The War Game 3

  
  The Toynbee convector — Authority: 127
  I predicted that the YouTube clips of The War Game in my November 1 post would not be available for long and they have already been removed.

• Richard Muller on Dort: What Dort Actually Does and Does Not Affirm

  
  Calvin and Calvinism — Authority: 123
  MullerThe question at issue between Calvin and the later Reformed does not entail any debate over the value or merit of Christ’s death: virtually all were agreed that it was sufficient to pay the price for the sins of the whole world.

• Lincoln in Michigan

• Norman Davies and his readers perceptions

  
  Personal Reflections — Authority: 129
