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.

Bishop John Rodgers New Book Now Available!


Bp. John Rodgers is well known to Trinity as the Dean/President Emeritus, long time Professor of Systematic Theology, and encourager to all. Now, Bp. John is known for one more role – author! After many years of work, Bp. John has completed a comprehensive book on the 39 Articles. This book, ESSENTIAL TRUTHS FOR CHRISTIANS: A Commentary on the Anglican Thirty-Nine Articles and an Introduction to Systematic Theology, is now available.

Published by the Classical Anglican Press, Essential Truthscan be purchased from the Trinity Bookstore at 1-800-874-8754 or bookstore@tsm.edu. Cost is $24.95 paperback and or $49.95 hardcover.

With a focus on solid theological teaching, practical application, and spiritual formation, Essential Truths is written for clergy, for ministry students, and for lay leaders. Essential Truths shows how the Anglican Reformers "got it right" on the central matters of the Christian Faith, and that these teachings are both biblical and relevant for today. This book is designed as an easy-to-find reference on the Articles and as an introduction to the basic themes of systematic theology. The foreword is written by J. I. Packer.

Bp. Rodgers will be doing a book signing at Trinity on Wednesday, April 13, after chapel.
