Evening Prayer (1662 Book of Common Prayer)


REFORMED PRAYER BOOK THEOLOGY AND CHURCHMANSHIP. HAND IN GLOVE. 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, 1-10. Psalm 3: King David is a fugitive and victim of a coup d' etat. He flees Jerusalem and turns to God. Jude notes that Michael the Archangel rebukes Satan simply and directly, in the full knowledge of the infinite supremacy over the foul, fallen angel: "The LORD rebuke thee!" That's ammo for us. Dr. Reymond gives a wonderful summary of the OT witness on inscripturation. Dr. Schaff bespeaks the 1522 letter of 11 Roman priests, Zwingli being 1 of the 11 signatories, to the Bishop asking for 2 things: (1) direct preaching from the Bible and (2) let the priests get married. In the second, the priests confess to the concubinage and the generally low level of clerical morality. Zwingli had been a multiple offender and fornicator, but marriage ended the violation of the 7th commandment.
