Now in his 80s, Pope retires

No, not The Pope, but the "Evangelical Pope." Really, no kidding. Read about it here.

Never heard of him.

ps: this is why i like knowing people like Olson, and Brumley, and Akin, and Keating; they know who these chaps are, and why some of us, at least, should be aware of them. But as for me and my house, we will read the Code, and mark today the anniversary of the death of the great canonist Lambertini (ie, B14)

The funny thing is that two of the most influential Evangelical theologians of the past 50 years are Stott and J.I. Packer—and I've read a grand total of zero of their books. Interestingly enough, if I'm not mistaken, both come from a low church, Evangelical form of Anglicanism. Yet the Anglicans that I've enjoyed reading are not theologians in the strict sense of the word: C.S. Lewis, T.S. Eliot, Dorothy Sayers, Charles Williams, etc. The exception would be biblical scholars such as N.T. Wright and Richard Bauckham. And my point? I probably should be reading more Canon Law than I do. ;-)
