Unofficial Start to CHBC Internship!

Wow! When Linds and I arrived home this evening there was a box of stuff from CHBC. Inside were two letters and six books, Nine Marks of a Healthy Church (booklet by Mark Dever), A Display of God's Glory (booklet by Mark Dever), By Who's Authority? Elders in Baptist Life (booklet by Mark Dever), Humility True Greatness (C.J. Mahaney), When People are Big and God is Small (Ed Welch), and Theology of the Reformers (Timothy George).

Here's a run down of the assignments...

• Two 5 page papers one on each book When People are Big and God is Small, and Humility due 7/13/07.

• Three 2 page papers on the booklets by Mark Dever due 8/3/07.

• One 5 page paper discussing the significance of the reformation for Protestants' understanding of the church, the pastor and his role, and the sacraments (based off of Theology of the Reformers) due 8/9/07.

• Lastly, write a broad timeline of the English Reformation, including major monarchs, reformers, and critical events and publications due 8/9/07.

Good news is that I've already read 5 of the 6 books. Of course I'll be doing some rereading...I'm just glad I don't have to start from scratch.
