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.

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

For Medieval Christianity, Vol. 4 (590-1073), Prof. Schaff describes the young life of Mohammed.

For the Swiss Reformation Vol. 8 (1519-1605), Prof. Schaff concludes with the life 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.
