Reformed Churchmen

We are Confessional Calvinists and a Prayer Book Church-people. In 2012, we remembered the 350th anniversary of the 1662 Book of Common Prayer; also, we remembered the 450th anniversary of John Jewel's sober, scholarly, and Reformed "An Apology of the Church of England." In 2013, we remembered the publication of the "Heidelberg Catechism" and the influence of Reformed theologians in England, including Heinrich Bullinger's Decades. For 2014: Tyndale's NT translation. For 2015, John Roger, Rowland Taylor and Bishop John Hooper's martyrdom, burned at the stakes. Books of the month. December 2014: Alan Jacob's "Book of Common Prayer" at: http://www.amazon.com/Book-Common-Prayer-Biography-Religious/dp/0691154813/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1417814005&sr=8-1&keywords=jacobs+book+of+common+prayer.

N.T. Wright's Challenge to Wheaton students

Pretty dreary stuff. Yawn, Tom. Would be better to read the Scriptures themselves. Or alternatively, rather than Tom, to read Charles Hodge or Francis Turretin for twenty-thirty-minutes than this dreary stuff. No wonder the Church of England is ill-attended. Listening to this?

Your blog: *yawn*

I liked Wright's sermon at Wheaton. But then, I listened to the whole thing.

Lifting 4:49 out of the sermon of even the best preacher can produce awful results.

So I find myself agreeing with nearemmaus.

Whatever, Tom is dreary. Although it has been a few years since I plowed through his works.

Tom just doesn't have it.

I prefer Gerald Bray's comments about Tom's hubris on soteriology.

Cheers.
