  4. “The ballad’s enduring appeal (and Romantasy’s, too) is that it flips the traditional narrative of heroism on its head”

  5. 📚 Hayo just finished reading The Little Ice Age: How Climate Made History 1300-1850 by Brian Fagan

    One of those books that was exactly what I was looking for. The author presents a very balanced scientific overview of the interplay between climatic and socio-economic flows. It paints a disturbing picture of our very recent history and gives a glimpse of what could happen in the next few hundred years.

    Eternal Security

    This is also known as “once saved, always saved.” It’s the belief giving Christian believers with an absolute assurance of their final salvation.

    Its development, especially in Protestantism, has given rise to a plethora of different interpretations. Especially when defining aspects of determinism, libertarian free will & the significance of personal perseverance.

    In the early 5th century, Augustinian soteriology views of predestination by predetermination came about, they didn’t validate Eternal Security. Soteriology is the doctrine of salvation.

    By the 16th century, this idea became meshed into the theology of John Calvin & other reformers. Calvinist circles initially embraced Eternal Security under the name of “perseverance of the saints.” Eventually, the name became a synonym of the Calvinist doctrine of perseverance independent of its practical interpretations.

    Then in the early 20th century, Eternal Security started to become a defining doctrine of Southern Baptist traditionalism. Around the same time, it also became a part of Plymouth Brethren theology. In this, the 2 forms represents its main form today.

    In the 1980s, the Free Grace movement voiced that Eternal Grace was independent of the idea of the “Hyper-Grace” idea.

    Eternal Security is based on the faith that the believer is an elect by divine determination. This is in Calvinist circles & has the minority worldview.

    In some non-Calvinist circles & the prevailing worldview, Eternal Security is based on the faith that regeneration leads to unconditional perseverance & then salvation.

    In other non-Calvinist circles & currently growing in the Free Grace views, Eternal Security is based on the faith that regeneration leads to salvation independent of perseverance.

    Historian Yvonne Seale on the women of the LYMOND CHRONICLES:

    “some of the most compelling women characters you’re likely to find in print … after several years spent studying the history of women in pre-modern Europe […] I better understand just how much Dunnett’s female characters have both feet firmly planted in a sixteenth-century world”
