“[John Calvin's] treatment of the person and work of Christ, of the Holy Spirit in the life of the believer, of prayer and liturgy, of the sacraments, and of the way in which we have an in-built sense of the divine that we suppress to our great sorrow - these are all immense contributions to Christian thought. The same could be said of his commentaries, which are still regularly consulted by biblical critics today.” WayPersonsSaidStillsTodayChristianSpiritChristPrayerDivineSorrowHolyBuiltCriticsBelieverHoly SpiritContributionTreatmentImmenseBiblicalSacramentsCommentaryLiturgy Author:Oliver D.

“I am saying there are women in the Senate, there are women in governorships, there are women in statewide office, there are women in the House, and I do think we can't ignore the fact that we have had the first woman ever win a nomination of a major party and the first woman ever winning the popular vote.
