Voet means foot in Dutch


There's a person going around the internet calling himself Elder Hoss who is brusk (like the big atheist half of Penn and Teller) and likes to throw the name Ridderbos around like he, Elder Hoss, is Zeus and Ridderbos is a lightning bolt.

On the subject of Ridderbos I've written an extensive scholarly article, but it is currently being held from publication by a German publishing house (I was offered some money, I signed some papers...), so I can't release it just now, but for the record it is titled:

Herman Ridderbos: Scofield of the Twentieth Century

Until my article is available, though, I want to recommend to my audience this article by Richard B. Gaffin, Jr. Mr. Gaffin will explain Ridderbos' use of the historia salutis (or, Heilsgeschichte, or "Let's coin a term for our latest assault on simple, orthodox doctrine that will sound intellectual and old.") and put his contribution into perspective for any new to the subject.

(When you get to the article use your browser's search function and search on 'historia' throughout the article, that will take you quickly to the subject at hand.)

In a battle of wits, Elder Hoss is an unarmed man. It's more like he, Elder Hoss, is Homer Simpson, and the names he throws around are his best guesses on how to operate the nuclear power plant.
