I was pleased to see that there is a digitization project underway in Switzerland. While I have not found any of the particularly rare books for which I was looking, there are a number of excellent works published in Geneva that have been digitized (link to accent). One of those books is even in English, although Latin dominates, and French takes the lion's share of the remainder.
Thanks to Historical TheoBlogy for bringing this to my attention.

Comment Guidelines:
1. Thanks for posting a comment. Without you, this blog would not be interactive.
2. Please be polite. That doesn't mean you have to use kid gloves, but please try not to flame others, even if they are heretics, infidels, or worse.
3. If you insult me, I'm more likely to delete your comment than if you butter me up. After all, I'm human. I prefer praise to insults. If you prefer insults, there's something wrong with you.
4. Please be concise. The comment box is not your blog. Your blog is your blog. If you have a really long comment, post it on your blog and post a short summary of it here.
5. Please don't just spam. It's one thing to be concise, it's another thing to simply use the comment box to advertise.
6. Please note, by commenting here, you are relinquishing your (C) in your comments to me.
7. Remember that you will give an account on judgment day for your words, including those typed in comment boxes. Try to write so you will not be ashamed if it is read back before the entire world.
8. Stay on topic. If your comment has nothing to do with the post, email it to me (my email can be obtained through my blogger profile), or simply don't post it.
9. Don't post as "Anonymous." If you are going to post anonymously, at least use some kind of recognizable "handle," so we can tell you apart from all the other anonymous folks. (This is moot at the moment, since recent abuse has forced me to turn off "anonymous" commenting.)
10. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you; and abstain from doing to others what you would not wish upon yourself.
Hello Brother,
ReplyDeleteAlthough this is off topic, I have a question that would best be answered by someone of your level of expertise.
Regarding the use of the phrase "en" in John 1:1; The notion that the phrase, the imperfect of eimi which means "to be," indicates eternality or timelessness has been contested by some LDS adherents I have been speaking with. One of these objections goes like this "This is simply false. ειμι is the verb "to be." The imperfect tense simply indicates that the action of the verb was not finished within the time frame of the clause. It makes absolutely no judgments whatsoever about when the action of the verb began. It is used numerous times throughout the New Testament with reference to humans." This same group provided Acts 12:5 and Matt 1:20 for examples. Can you please enlighten me on why this claim is untrue?
