In my senior ‘winding-down’ years, regular periodicals have had to go. However, on holiday I was able to catch up on six months of ens. What vibrancy I discovered!

I particularly appreciated Professor Michael Haykin’s contributions, not least his ‘How should Christians disagree?’ (July) and ‘The reduction of fatherhood’ (August).

He is a forgotten evangelical hero, a faithful servant of Christ during the turbulent and fractious period between the demise of Puritanism and the dawn of the Methodist revival. Believing the subject matter has something to say about the current evangelical scene, I conclude my letter by sharing a brief extract from Calamy Celebrated:
