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.

English Reformation and Reformed Theology

We are beginning to build a veritable file of English Reformers on the blogsite.

Many salutary (unread and unappreciated) works will be found under "Anglican and Reformed." These will be found to the right and down aways.

Don't look for reviews of any of these works at the modern centres of advertisement...the blogs, websites, or modern American seminaries.

www.virtueoneline.org, one of those modern centres, is actually a site for quasi-charismatico-AMiA. You can add StandFirm and other centres. www.anglicansablaze.blogspot.com is one of the more non-amnesiacal and luminscent centres of a better sort.

Life is difficult in the Babylonian Captivity of amnesia.

The work of posting the "greats" will continue notwithstanding the predilection for EMO-non-theologies (e.g ACNA with EMO-man Rick Warren and GO mystic-anti-Reformation man, Met Jonah).

We are x-pecting a great list of the "greats" to develop. One has to feed oneself in the dry and arid period of Exilic Anglicanism.

Stay tuned.
