As I mentioned previously, I have an article in the inaugural volume of the Puritan Reformed Journal entitled, "The Principle and Practice of Preaching in the Heidelberg Catechism." There has been much written on the practice of catechetical/catechism preaching of the Heidelberg Catechism (which I do deal with in the article), but not much at all on the principle of what preaching is according to our beloved Catechism. I hope I begin to fill that void.

Here is an update on the Puritan Reformed Journal 1 (2009), which will be a bi-annual journal from Puritan Reformed Theological Seminary (issues in Jan/July). Volume 1 is set to be in-print this December.

Subscriptions are available for $20 per year (2 issues). Here is a link for ordering information.
