Evening Prayer (1662 Book of Common Prayer)

REFORMED THEOLOGY AND REFORMED BOOK OF COMMON PRAYER. HAND IN GLOVE. RESPECT AND HONOR OF GOD. John Calvin on the Psalms. Keil & Delitzsch on Joshua. Matthew Henry on Jude. Dr. Robert Reymond on Systematic Theology. Dr. Philip Schaff on the Swiss Reformation, namely, Ulrich Zwingli. Westminster Shorter Catechism, 41-50. Remarkably amidst the tumults of the coup d'etat, David lies down at night and sleeps restfully. Prof. Keil reminds the Vandals of Biblical destruction of God's character. The Marcionites of the 19th-20th centuries, speaking in a thick German brogue, tell us how mean God is to destroy the Canaanites. Prof. Keil witnesses the Vandals driving headlong at high speeds into an immoveable cement-brick wall of brute and brutal facts. To wit, the full-orbed character of God. The 21st century reader is reminded to read classical systematicians, e.g. Robert Reymond, not the Marcionitic Vandals. Witness that car accident. Jude calls the false professors as "twice dead." They were dead once in sins and trespasses, but were planted, but had no roots and died. The tree dies. Hypocrites finally get cut off. Robert Reymond does a surgical gonadectomy and castration of neo-orthodoxy, using two sources: Dr. I. Howard Marshall and, an unlikely candidate, James Barr. Even the latter, an enemy of the historic view of the Bible, says the Reymond breed (us) has it right. Sorta like Kirsopp Lake's open confession that the Vandals were outside the historic Church. Prof. Schaff characterizes Zwingli as an advanced Reformer and Erasmian, under construction, from 1515-1520. He still is in favor with the Abbot of Einseideln, the Bishop of Constance, and even the Thief and Robber in Rome.
