Sorry for the delay, but let’s get into the carnival!
Mike Adkins reminds us of the difference in canons. Fisher, along the same lines, examines Jesus, the Gospels, Gnosticism and Historical Revisionism (Part 2), (Continued from Part One).
Foster reflects on the Didache and Baptism while also commenting on Clement on 1st John 3.2.
Mystagogy reflects on the Patristic response to the Virgin Birth as well as engaging Basil on the environmental crisis while an Irish Catholic quotes something about biblical theology. MG looks at the Fathers on merciful justice.
Also, we have a Buddhist and an Islamic perspective on Christmas while John Lee looks at the celebration according to early Church Fathers and Will examines the Magi as Kings in the Church Fathers.
Bill examines the seven sacraments while Dave Armstrong examines early writers on the Communion and Lex offers a bit of clarification.
Jason takes a look at Sola Fide between the Apostles and the Reformation while Jordan examines Patristic Soteriology.
Diglot digs at Robert Price on the historical Jesus (although he isn’t the only blogger to take on Robert Price) and quotes Hippolytus, examines a Eusebian telling of a supposed letter between Jesus and the King of Edessa,
Fr. Powell examines the Creed, at least on the face while John Stark examines Augustine’s view.
Nicholas looks at the Old Customs, Jason looks at paradigms in Church History, while a Pertinacious Papist notes that Evangelicals are discovering the Church Fathers. William looks at later Church writers on Peter as the Rock while, again, Diglot provides a lot of information on the same subject as before.
Aaron Taylor reminds Ambrose of Milan on his feast day while Andrea brings us a softer side of Augustine and Fr. Seraphim reflects on Ignatius of Antioch.
Steve responds to my post on Justin and the Eucharist.
Nicholas returns to the Carnival with a post on Gregory Naziazen.
Matthew rises above and examines Cyril of Alexandria’s Exegesis on the Woman at the Well as well as the Marriage at Cana.
I had to the time to look at the early Church Fathers and their views on public service as well as look at the Anti-Marcionite Prologues.
David looks at Athanasius and Wrath while and Anglo-Catholic examines Arius v. Athanasius.
Oh, and the first Christian ‘celebrity’?
Reviews:
Alex randomly reviews the book, Augustine as Mentor.
I was fortunate to examine Jewish and Christian views on the Crucifixion.
Nick Norelli reflects on Life in the Trinity and patristic presuppositionalism.
Mark Williams reflects on The Way of the Ascetics.
The Hideous Man looks at Jesus Through the Centuries.

Hey Joel,
You forgot to mention my defense of Creation ex nihilo, as well as my post on Clement alexandria and philosophy and my defense of the virgin birth.

Thanks, Rodney. I was working on (quickly) what was submitted. I, of course, blame everyone else. (I’ll update it)
