Evening Prayer (1662 Book of Common Prayer)
For
Psalm 18, Prof. Calvin repeated what he said this morning.
ISBE
on Exodus: Prof. R. K. Harrison notes that leather vellum was the likely medium
for Moses’ works. The Rabbis and tradition hold that.
For
Genesis 1: Prof. Keil discusses the imago Dei in an unremarkable section.
For Joshua
21, Joshua further describe town/village allotments to the Levites, towns throughout
the areas of the other tribes.
For
Isaiah 6.1-4, Prof. Henry focuses on the eternality, majesty and glory of God’s
holiness.
ISBE
on Mark: Dr. R. P. Martin tells us once more than Marks shows the marks of an
eye-witness account.
For
Mathew 5.1ff., Prof. Jamiesson describes the Beatitudes an internal virtues of the
kingdom, e.g. the “poor in spirit” as the humble, meek, etc.
For
Romans, Prof. Hodge ties himself up in exegetical knots on 2.15-16. We look forward
to putting this back on the shelf and moving onwards.
For
Revelation 14.13-20, Prof. Henry describes the final harvest.
In
the Global Anglican, says nothing much beyond the previous page. Some bloviating
is going on.
For
Systematic Theology (locus 2), Prof. Hodge yields far too much to philosophy.
Nice try, Prof.
For Theology
Proper (locus 2), Prof. Reymond introduces the Trinity.
For Ecclesiology
(locus 6), Prof. Berkhof notes discusses the visibility to the invisible church
in the Reformers’ Confessions. The WCF says the invisible church consists of
the elect.

Apostolic Christianity, Vol. 1 (0-100) Prof. Schaff describes the cities around
the Sea of Galilee: Tiberius, Capernaum, Bethsaida.

of Farel, dying in Neuchatel in summer, 1565, a year after his student Calvin
has passed.
For
Dr. Cranmer, Prof. MacCulloch discuss again the heraldry and signet ring of Dr.
Cranmer.
EDT
on Process Theology: in a silly fashion, an evaluations posits how well PT
accords with classical theism. Um, then why is it even necessary? And with
language of techno-babble designed only for a faculty lounge of philosophers?
People may not be reading Aristotle, but they’re not stupid either. C’mon now.
For
the Creeds of Christendom, Prof. Schaff again rehearses the conflict between
the 4/5th of the Bishops for Infallibility and 1/5 against.
1994
CCC: classically, this catechism affirms the importance of the laity’s exposure
to Scripture. So, what becomes of all the denunciations of the laity’s exposure
in centuries’ past? Aren’t those denunciations infallible? These boys are doin’
some slick shifting. Remember, they’ve inserted the “rip cord” to unleash the “Living
Tradition,” an on-going coordinate of authority with the Sacred Scripture. The
Reformed Eagle has eyes on the Romish rabbit.
Westminster Larger Catechism 120:
Q. 120. What are the reasons
annexed to the fourth commandment, the more to enforce it?
A. The reasons annexed to the fourth commandment, the more to enforce it, are
taken from the equity of it, God allowing us six days of seven for our own
affairs, and reserving but one for himself, in these words, Six days shalt
thou labor, and do all thy work: from God's challenging a special
propriety in that day, The seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: from
the example of God, who in six days ... made heaven and earth, the sea,
and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: and from that
blessing which God put upon that day, not only in sanctifying it to be a day
for his service, but in ordaining it to be a means of blessing to us in our
sanctifying it; Wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed
it.
