Actually, his Lectures on Preaching are pretty sound, too.

The best thing one can say about him.

Must *not* be an alb, for the very reason of the sleeves. It's a good old-fashioned New England surplice, voluminous enough to cover a multitude of… Phillips Brooks, for one.

The globe-trotting romance author/YouTube influencer Akma Welby and I keep in our respective lanes — although some people are surprised that the hot presenter isn’t interested in hermeneutics, and the searing hot hermeneutician doesn’t video-blog…).
