M’Crie quotes an Inquisition victim who cried out to God, preferring cannibals to his baptized tormentors. M’Crie—a Reformed historian—neither flinches nor excuses it. The title says it all: the Reformation’s heirs were the primary targets, and they’re the ones who preserved the memory. If you’re Christian, don’t be a fiend. If you’re not, consider who kept this story alive, and why.

Gossner—German Reformed and Lutheran minister—lists the components of divine service without apparent hierarchy. Suffer. Praise God. Preach the Gospel. Love the neighbor. Visit the widow and fatherless in their affliction. Keep unspotted from the world. It’s a complete list. One notes that contemporary spokesmen for historic conservative Christianity tend to cover some items more thoroughly than others, and develop considerable theological ingenuity around the remainder.
