I want to write for history, not for the moment.

History will be kind to me for I intend to write it.

Reformation names the disunity in which we currently stand. We who remain in the Protestant tradition want to say that Reformation was a success.

I have begun the 'History of England' by Mr. Hume. It seems to me very interesting, though it is necessary to recollect that it is a Protestant who has written it.

From Caesar's legions to the Napoleonic wars. From the Reformation, the Enlightenment and the industrial revolution to the defeat of nazism. We have helped to write European history, and Europe has helped write ours.

I must begin by telling you that I do not like to preach on Reformation Sunday. Actually, I have to put it more strongly than that. I do not like Reformation Sunday, period.

I'm looking to make history.

I've learned that even the word 'jubilee' used in connection with the Reformation can give rise to discussions.

Reformation, like education, is a journey, not a destination.

I'm such a history-nerd that, with time for research, I could probably enjoy writing in just about any time period.
