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. January 2015: A.F. Pollard's "Thomas Cranmer and the English Reformation: 1489-1556" at: http://www.amazon.com/Thomas-Cranmer-English-Reformation-1489-1556/dp/1592448658/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1420055574&sr=8-1&keywords=A.F.+Pollard+Cranmer.

British Delegation Synod Dort, 1843831570, £60.00/$105.00, 424pp, 2005


British Delegation Synod Dort, 1843831570, £60.00/$105.00, 424pp, 2005

A scholarly contribution. It is comforting to note the substantial contribution of Anglican divines--Hall, Davenant, Carleton--to the Belgian-Dutch Presbyterian divines at the Synod of Dort (1618-1619). The Anglicans were asked by order of the Synod to assist the Dutch with an annotated Bible as well. As an aside, it is noted that King James 1 was a Calvinist, albeit not a Presbyterian Calvinist but an Anglican Calvinist.
