Dean Scott+ Don't worry about learning German. Geoffrey Bromiley (who
was a CH prof of mine) has done a good job of translating most of the
corpus of the Reformed in German (and unfortunately some of their errors
rubbed off at times). I would not have chosen the word 'revenge' but I
did like it. My duty was/is to keep the students challenged and mentally
active. Few slept in my seminars because I tried to use the WP model
(everyone recites everyday). It works. Blessings. GDVW+
