The name of Jesus brings to mind the gift of the incarnate Godhead—their supernatural acts, astonishing wisdom, incomparable goodness, unmitigated innocence, supreme sacrifice, offered salvation, and our only certain hope.

The fascination of the universe of childhood, with its multitude of stories, experiences and impressions, is unrepeatable.

I realise that my own story is no exception, although it has often seemed to me that I live a banal and predictable life.

This topic seems to be a matter of picking through the rubbish in order to survive. Who cares about Protestant protest today?

The year 1685 gave the world two of its greatest composers: Johann Sebastian Bach and George Friedrich Handel. The presence of the great biblical subjects in their masterpieces not only filled the hearts of believers with joy, but determined a new direction in the evolution of the musical language, which continues to have an impact to this day.
