As for what James Swan writes here:<br /><br /><i>I'm quite pleased that my fellow bloggers have freed me up to concentrate on posts like these.

But when you contribute this kind of research into the contexts of Luther quotations, that's a flower that blooms slowly but its fruit endures much, much longer. As Protestants are exposed to these quotations, more and more will they come to recognize the usefulness of the work you've done in this area. It's a kind of work few discuss as its release to the public, but it eventually will be used in all manner of apologetic discussions and contexts as the years go by, probably without you ever seeing the results.Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12784922935749497931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19795707.post-82554196820566453702010-10-17T20:40:11.657-04:002010-10-17T20:40:11.657-04:00Yes, even an e-book would be invaluable.Yes, even an e-book would be invaluable.Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12784922935749497931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19795707.post-33719948619938842822010-10-17T19:06:54.285-04:002010-10-17T19:06:54.285-04:00Have you considered publishing your research in bo...Have you considered publishing your research in book form at some time in the future?

I usually think though these posts are an excursion to tedium and boredom to everyone else besides myself.<br /><br />A month or so ago someone named Raymond stopped by and left a comment on one of these posts, and I'm curious if it was the author of <i>Luther, Exposing the Myth</i>. He never posted a comment again (that I'm aware of). I have done enough work that he could probably revise most of his paper and at least provide correct documentation. <br /><br />A few years back I reviewed a portion of <i>Luther, Exposing the Myth</i>. I wrote to the hosting website letting them know of my reviews. I received the following reply, "We will forward [the author] your comments and ask him to send us a respond. Once he has sent us a response to your article, we will try to forward to you what he sends back to us." That was in 2006. I have yet to receive any response. I probably never will.<br /><br />While my reviews may seem limited to this particular webpage, the quotes used in many cases have a history all their own. In most instances it wasn't <i>Luther, Exposing the Myth</i> that read Luther and made a mess, it was authors who lived many years ago. This is what makes it interesting to me.James Swanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16136781934797867593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19795707.post-48548549881343056632010-10-17T18:14:00.672-04:002010-10-17T18:14:00.672-04:00James,
