The print publication that preceded Oldlife.org has been out of circulation for some time. But the Nicotine Theological Journal returns to the world of the living with the Winter 2012 issue. If features two separate reflections by Baptist-turned-Presbyterian baby boomers on their parents and church life of their youth, an assessment of Presbyterian church growth, a review of Carl Trueman’s Republocrat, and a reprint of an post at Oldlife about the development of doctrine.
This issue also explains plans for future publication. The idea is that existing subscribers will receive hard copies for the next year by mail. All others will have access to Portable Document Formats of the NTJ through Oldlife.org. Once the next issue is out (Summer 2013), the NTJ will be available only on-line as a pdf. All readers will be able to access these files for a modest price through PayPal.
This material is too good to give away. At least, that was the consensus of the editors at our last meeting.

Did your brother marry an Iowa girl? What does he do for a living?
What does SC88 at the end of articles mean?

I managed to finish the whole issue at work. I liked it. The piece on “Development of Doctrine Protestant-Style” was very good.
Great news for this Australian!
Looks good, I wish I had found this a while ago.
