Perhaps I should say this more plainly than I have in the past. Big-name (in the Calvinist ghetto) Reformed theologians who complain about the influence of the blogosphere on the discourse and propagation of theology are in the bowels of Tridentine thinking.
Reformed theology was never about textbooks. It was about pamphlets. It was a blogosphere that dethroned the Pope.
One could also mention how the early church took up the codex even in a context where “serious” texts were supposed to be written on scrolls. 2nd century viral marketing.
But wasn’t there at least a skosh more accountability and filtering of what got published? Who were the Vance Chickersons in that world?
Oh, and the Hell Kitten AR-15 is hilarious. I think I need one.
