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.

John Julian, born at St. Agnes, Cornwall became a vicar in the Church of England. He is best known for his wonderful reference tool, the Dictionary of Hymnology: Origin and History of Christian Hymns and Hymnwriters of All Ages and Nations, Together with Biographical and Critical Notices of Their Authors and Translators. He wrote a few worship hymns himself.

John Julian (27 January 1839 – 23 January 1913)[1] (no middle name on birth certificate) was a clergyman and the editor of A Dictionary of Hymnology[2] which remains a common reference for those studying hymnody and hymnology.

He graduated from Durham University (MA, 1887), from Lambeth (DD, 1894) and from Howard University, Washington DC (LLD, 1894).

He was Vicar of Topcliffe, Yorkshire and later Vicar of Wincobank. In November 1901 he was appointed Prebendary of Church Fenton in York Minster.[3] He later became a Canon of York.

He also wrote Concerning Hymns (1874), History of the Use of Hymns in Public Worship, and Their Proper Characteristics (1894), and Carols, Ancient and Modern (1900).[4]
