New stuff ...
- Tony Reinke reviews a brand new English translation of a Dutch survey called Sweet Communion: Trajectories of Spirituality from the Middle Ages through the Further Reformation, which highlights the contribution of the Dutch puritans.
- The May edition of Lara Eakins's TudorCast is available for download. She makes mention of a 'micro-sculpture' by Willard Wigan (above), of Henry VIII and his six wives, that fits within the eye of a needle. She also promotes a very interesting website called FindAGrave.com, the purpose of which you can probably guess yourself. As always, some great Tudor 'bumper music' adorns the podcast.
- Nathan Eschelman provides a short review of a new compilation of Jonathan Edwards's letters by Michael Haykin, entitled A Sweet Flame: Piety in the Letters of Jonathan Edwards.

PLEASE TAKE OFF THE MUSIC.
All right, all right. You don't have to raise your voice! :-O
I don't know if this counts as "New stuff" or if it is worthy of mention on The Conventicle - but as I started a blog a few weeks ago that may be of interest I thought a shameless plug might be in order. (Hope you don’t mind too much!)

This blog hosts (fairly informal) weekly updates on my studies on the Scottish theologian and preacher James Durham (1622-1658). My thesis (MPhil) is entitled:
James Durham (1622-1658) and the Free Offer of the Gospel:
A Case Study on the Meaning of the Westminster Confession of Faith VII:III, "He freely offereth unto sinners life and salvation by Jesus Christ; requiring of them faith in Him, that they may be saved".
So a short title much in the style of the Puritans!
As an aside I nearly applied to do my studies at Edinburgh but in the end decided to pursue them at the Wales School of Evangelical Theology (http://www.etcw.ac.uk)
