FYI (from the TMP site):
John Nelson Darby, a Trinity graduate and Gold Medallist (1819), is arguably one of the most important but least well known of Irish thinkers. Darby was a principal architect of ‘dispensational premillennialism,’ an evangelical end-of-the-world-view to which an estimated 100 million Americans subscribe and which underpins Left Behind, the best-selling series of novels in American literary history, and, arguably, a series of presidential administrations. The Trinity Millennialism Project aims to emphasise the importance of Darby’s Irish context in a series of key events and publications, including a significant digitization project and the first intellectual biography of Darby.

New ESV Study Bible decidedly Reformed

… according to John Hendryx, a contributor to the Reformation Theology blog. On two key issues, regeneration and hermeneutics, the writers of the ESV Study Bible notes take a decidedly monergistic, covenantal stance, Hendryx finds.
