His defense of Baptism and the Lord's Supper was impressive and extensive. It's difficult to compare to that level of dedication and scholarship. But, on the other hand, I used to be so very amazed at our profs at the Sem (and I still am). But, after a couple of years out in the ministry, when you get asked the same question over and over again, it's hard to not become a thorough exegete and theologian in some areas of scripture. I mean, how many times can you be asked about infant baptism before you lay out a well-defined, cogent response? Lord's blessings on your Lent Preaching, Hans.

I can't recall coming across "prolixity," but there are still several hundred pages to go. I'll keep you and your readers posted.
