Log of 1997 updates at Phil Johnson's Web site.

FOR THE WEEKS ENDING 26 December 1998:

FOR THE WEEKS ENDING 3 October 1998:

A note from Phil: I'm very sorry to let so many weeks go by without adding any new sermons—especially when so many faithful volunteers have supplied me with transcripts to post. But I'm swamped with work in my real-world job at the moment, and I'm scheduled to go to England and Germany in November. After that, I intend to post as many sermons as possible. My goal is to get at least 50 more on line before the end of the year. Thanks for your patience. P.S. Here's some stuff to help tide you over:

Added a copy of Spurgeon's most famous lecture series

Added an article on Charles Finney: "A Wolf in Sheep's Clothing: How Charles Finney's Theology Ravaged the Evangelical Movement."

Also added one sermon: "The Statute of David for the Sharing of the Spoil"

FOR THE 10 WEEKS ENDING 15 August 1998:

Phil's Home! Phil Johnson has returned from his summer ministries in Asia, bringing (as promised) numerous sermons he proofread and formatted while away. A heartfelt thanks to those who supplied these transcripts. Thanks to all for your patience while waiting for us to post these materials. This is the largest mass of material posted at one time since the Spurgeon Archive was begun in 1995, and we hope it makes up (in some small measure) for the long wait. There is much more still to come, Lord willing.
