   To Whom It May Concern:

   The apostle Peter is said to have denied Jesus three times the night of Jesus’s arrest. He was forgiven for these actions and rose to a leadership position in the early Jerusalem Christian community. In the Melitian and/or Donatist controversies, does the patristic literature and/or the canons of the councils or synods concerned with these issues provide us with any record of the forgiveness of Peter being adduced as a reason for rejecting the rigorist postion? Also, are any other scriptural references supporting these decisions for toleration and forgiveness adduced in these situations?

   Any help with this question will be deeply appreciated.

   Best Regards.

   Can you point me to a discussion in English of the Urkunden 2007 revised chronology? My efforts have come up short.

   Many thanks,

   Sorry, but we have not seen a review of this volume, or its chronology, as of yet.

   I would like to first thank you for the wonderful information provided here in a clear and easy to read format.

   On the following link: http://www.fourthcentury.com/index.php/urkunde-15, it is stated as on many others “Discussed in Hanson, p. 136 and 148.” Can you please state which of Hanson’s books discusses these letters in more detail? (Never mind)

   I found the web page where these reference works as listed. Just in case someone else is wondering this same question, I’ll post it here so they don’t have to search for it as I did.

   This is a bit confusing because there is no direct link to the Bibliography or Reference page. Perhaps you could change those words to links that a person can click on. Each reference can also be tagged so that when a person click on the reference, such as Hanson, he can then be directed to the actual work rather than having to read the whole page and search for the work. Although a simple link to that page would be an improvement.

   For anyone wondering the same question, the references are found here.

   Is the source of the author portrait emblem on your site identified somewhere?

   Minor grammer error – thought you’d want to know and correct it.

   Second Creed of Antioch (341 A.D.)

   http://www.fourthcentury.com/index.php/second-creed-of-antioch/

   “… namely of a Father who is truly Father, and a Son who is truly Son, and of the Hoy Ghost who is truly Holy Ghost …”

   The “Hoy” should be “Holy”.
