Recent Changes & Coming Attractions

Almost all of the content of the old site and much new material can now be found at www.contra-mundum.org.


The old magazine, published on the previous web site in many small .html files, can now be had in its original appearance in .pdf files (unfortunately rather large). Also available is Antithesis and Progressive Calvinism/First Principles. The latter still needs a good, easily browsed general index to find the individual articles and topics. We are not, however, working on one yet. For now, use the tables of contents at the beginning of each annual volume. These collections of .pdf files provide the almost complete content of the previous web site, along with much further material not available before.

Also, some highlights can be found in individual .pdf files, mainly some of the feature articles and book reviews. We have not finished adding these and plan do more, especially of the reviews.

More books have been added. See especially the very important and long out of print Christ the Meaning of History, by Hendrikus Berkhof. We have T.S. Eliot's The Idea of a Christian Society that was published as the first part of Christianity and Culture. The second part, Notes Towards the Definition of Culture goes out of copyright some time this year. We just don't know what month the copyright expires, so we are holding it back until January. There are more books by Jacques Ellul as well.

The Jacques Ellul Society www.ellul.org want to get all his works into print in paper and in electronic editions. I just have not seen any yet, except for a rather ugly rendering of The Humiliation of the Word at Religion Online. This book, by the way, is one that should have been read and brought into the recent discussions about Mel Gibson's The Passion of the Christ.)

For those complaining of a lack of sufficient new material, I should point out that the majority of our serious readers now read this site in Spanish, and there is much that is new on that side.

Coming up, later this year, d.v., is a new internet publication, The International Journal of Christian Ethics and Worldview.

  The Way We Were
The old .html files of the Contra Mundum journal are for a time yet at our old location, http://www.visi.com/~contra_m/. Mainly the site has the children's Bible survey: Curso de Historia Sagrada.
