Nothing New

I will be gone for more than a week – duty calls! The difficult thing is deciding what books to take with me. I’m thinking of either Karl Barth’ Church Dogmatics (vol. 1) or John Owen’s Communion with God – and of course a copy of the Labor Code of the Philippines! Anyway, here’s something from Spurgeon before I hibernate:

“Rest assured that there is nothing new in theology except that which is false; and that the facts of theology are to-day what they were eighteen hundred years ago.”

— Charles Spurgeon, An All Round Ministry (Banner of Truth Trust, reprinted 1994) p. 10
