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.

The Anglican Psalter: The Psalms of David
Edited By: John Scott
Westminster John Knox Press / 2009 / Paperback

Product Description

Scott, one of the world's leading organists and choir masters, served as director of music at St. Paul's Protestant Cathedral (Anglican) for 14 years. He pairs the best Anglican chant with biblical texts that have been sung to God's glory in the temple, synagogue, and church for 3,000 years. Works by Elgar, Parry, Stanford, Wesley, and more. 352 pages, softcover. Canterbury Press.

We note that John Scott also produced the Psalter-set from St. Paul's Protestant Cathedral, London, a pricey but most useful CD-set on the entire Psalter. The cost is roughly $130 plus P & H, but the daily use of Mattins and Evensong from the classical 1662 BCP make it essential for the disciplined Reformed, Protestant and Anglican Churchman. One has to make their own way in this Babylonian Captivity of American Anglicanism.
