Reformed Churchmen: Mr. (Rev. Dr.) Paul Zahl's Retirement & "The Protestant Face of Anglicanism"

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.

Mr. (Rev. Dr.) Paul Zahl's Retirement & "The Protestant Face of Anglicanism"

We've been told that Mr. (Rev. Dr.) Paul Zahl is living in retirement in Winter Park, Florida. The date on the newsletter is 2011.

See: http://www.wghf.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/Heritage-FALL-2011-newsletter-final.pdf

Zahl, Paul. The Protestant Face of Anglicanism. Grand Rapids, MI: William B. Eerdmans, 1997.

Amazon.com says this about Mr. Zahl's volume.

"This volume tells a story that is virtually unknown today: The Protestant background and history of Anglican Christianity. Through a fascinating exploration of the development of Anglicanism and its wider Protestant context, Paul Zahl attempts to show-contrary to the opinion of many present-day "Anglican writers"-that Anglicanism is not just a via media (between Rome and Geneva, for example) but has been stamped decisively by classic Protestant insights and concerns. He also discusses the implications of Anglicanism's Protestant history for our own age, suggesting that this dimension has an important contribution to make to the worldwide Christian community in the new millennium."
