Since I’ve been teaching a mid-week study on Church History, I became interested in some of the background of the Reformation. Continue reading “Background Info on the Reformation”
Isaiah’s Job
Today while listening to a speech by Tom Woods, he mentioned how Ron Paul believed in speaking to “the remnant,” which was a reference to the words of the prophet Isaiah (the apostle Paul spoke of it too.) Woods referred to an essay by a man named Albert J. Nock, entitled “Isaiah’s Job” which Ron Paul apparently mentioned. I found it on YouTube here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EMqAHv5kO-Q
It really spoke to me as something very pertinent for our day. So I recommend it to you.

I no longer know the date or author, but I typed it up way back then, and wanted to publish it here, because it fits in a weekly project for one of my current courses, but also because I just think it’s so important for Christians to be reminded of how we can sometimes speak what I call “Christianese,” a language of Christian “insiders” which is really confusing to those not yet part of the “family.” Hope you get a laugh out of this old piece.
