While studying the Second Council of Nicaea, the 7th ecumenical council of 787AD, I remember being challenged by the apologetics work of John of Damascus. Much later in church history, John Calvin would reject the position of this council as did the muslims at that time, however, we don't see any commentaries on his response to John of Damascus, as though he didn't know he existed. 

I often forget just how much the world has changed in even just 30 years. Before the internet, people had to hunt down sources to compile their works. Nowadays, you simply ask the AI to give you an answer with sources and you arw provided a lifetime of work in miliseconds. 

Puritan missionaries use to spend years learning a new language before preaching the gospel. Nowadays, you can send a digital gospel track or bible to someone in China instantly, in their language. Doug Wilson once stated that if you take history in 500 year chunks, you can see that the church is clearly winning.

Now to further confuse everyone on my theological leanings, here is a picture of my icon corner lol.
