Morning Prayer and the Litany (1662 Book of Common Prayer)

For Theology Proper, Prof. Reymond discusses scia media and Molinism, a doctrine embraced by Jesuits, Socinus, Lutherans, and Arminians, as an effort to avoid divine omniscience and divine foreordination.

For Soteriology, Prof. Berkhof gives the Scriptural texts for the “perseverance of the saints.”

For Apostolic Christianity, Vol. 1 (0-100) Prof. Schaff discusses the varied datings of the Nativity in history. 25 Dec was a 4^th century dating that took root in the West.

For Medieval Christianity, Vol. 4 (590-1073), Prof. Schaff brings down to 988 AD the Christianization of Russia, opting for Constantinople over Rome.

For the Swiss Reformation Vol. 8 (1519-1605), Prof. Schaff discusses Geneva in the orbit of Swiss politics with other cities and cantons.

EDT on Process Theology: one hears a modern version of Heraclitean change with the emphasis on the “primacy of becoming” and stressing the quality of feeling of every entity from God to atoms (panpsychism). God is “becoming.” Get that new 2022 BMW and turn in that 1926 Ford Model-T version of God. How cool is that, bro?

For the Creeds of Christendom, Prof. Schaff outlines the subjects over 4 schemes covering the several months of Vatican 1. Ultimately, they get around to telling us of Papal Infallibility (like Pentecostal prophets) speaking “new words” of revelation and denying the closed canon. Of note, during the Council, the Council of Trent was reaffirmed. I guess that deep-sixes ecumenicity, although the mangled, mixed and maimed Protestant demythologizers might be able to dance across the Romanist ballroom. ??.

1994 CCC: telling us that Revelation is final in and through Jesus, the Curia then opens the door to revelation via “Tradition.” The Reformed hawk has grabbed that Romish rabbit.
