“Unto the upright there ariseth light in the darkness: He is gracious…”

By the unprecedented grace of God many new AI translations of Reformed Orthodox works have come available, courtesy of the labor of our friends at Colloquia Scholastica on Discord.
While AI translations are imperfect they are typically decent to good and are about 137 times better than nothing. They will greatly help people grow in the knowledge of the Lord, promote godly scholarship and, by exponentially multiplying interest in Reformed Orthodoxy and drawing more people to specialize in it, they will contribute to the creation of exponentially more professional, critical editions of texts in the long term than if God had not graced us with AI.
Please enjoy the firstfruits of the harvest, and note that for the first time classic Reformed works on Metaphysics (a subject sorely needed today) are now in English.
