Pilgrim,

Thanks for the heads-up on Refcon3. It is on my desktop now, just one click away.

Maybe this should be in another thread, but why has Calvinistic theology become so disputed these days. As you mentioned, for the first 3-4 centuries after the Reformation, it was the dominant theological perspective in Christianity. I can only think of Rome and the ana-baptists not siding with it. I guess it started eroding in the late 1700s or into the 1800s. Nowadays, christians make fun of it, and I don't think they realize its history. I guess they are under the opioning that the Reformation is still reforming, or possibly do not even know of the Reformation.
