I will be wrapping up the current version of Luther versus the UOJ Pietists on Friday and ordering the printing. Some improvements are going to be made immediately afterwards, but there are deadlines to meet. One is the conference. The other is the special sale which really chops down the net cost.
One researcher told me this morning that even more material will be coming out! That will be the ultimate explanation for UOJ. I am using that factoid to add that I am grateful for all the help I get, often from anonymous sources. It is handy to have people with more energy and better eyesight searching the documents.
More titles are planned for the immediate future. I asked for permission for one to be reprinted. Another one is in the public domain, I am pretty sure. My next project involves justification by faith and will be done fairly soon. I figure that the new title will be a useful supplement to what is being done now and revised as more research comes in.
Various Lutherans are helping out in many ways. That is interesting by itself, because I am teaching adults online about the new way of working, across the world, using the Net, with teams using various personalities and talents to accomplish a goal.
Sad to say, Lutherans have lost their nerve. In fear they imagine that the Roman Catholics or the Fullerites have all the answers. Afraid to compose their own sermons, they steal from others they consider successful, so the same sermon and text and graphics appear on the Net in 10 denominations at once. But somehow these copy-and-paste Lutherans do not wish to post their sermons on their own websites, because it is too easy to send them through a plagiarism checker and find out their source.
