Evening Prayer (Part 2)




For Systematic Theology (locus 2), Prof. Hodge comments on “Tradition” as a supplemental and coordinate authority to the Canon. To the Curia, the Bible is insufficient.

For Theology Proper (locus 2), Prof. Reymond totally drops the ball on Phil. 2.6-11 on his wildcat effort to turn this section into two hymns. Bizarre and windy, but unconvincing.

For Ecclesiology (locus 6), Prof. Berkhof discusses general comments on the term “sacrament.”

ODCC: Hermias: some apologete variously dated 2nd-6th centuries. Apparently a snark against the pagan pantheon. The author on this article sounded like a humorless Brit.

For Apostolic Christianity, Vol. 1 (0-100) Prof. Schaff notes the Christ is the reason for the success of Christianity.

For Medieval Christianity, Vol. 4 (590-1073), Prof. Schaff notes that Gregory 1 sucked up to the murderous Emperor who effect a coup d’état in Constantinople in a bloody coup.

For the Swiss Reformation Vol. 8 (1519-1605), Prof. Schaff offers a review of the varied, Romanist slanders of Calvin.

For Dr. Cranmer, Prof. MacCulloch (65) notes the back-and-forth literature between Grynaeus and Bucer. It finally firms up a relationship between Cranmer and Bucer of Strassburg.

For the Creeds of Christendom, Prof. Schaff gives the hilarious but contemptuous comments of Pio Nono on the Old Catholics, “those sons of perdition” and “heretics.” Well, so much for marketing and the nicer face of Frank 1.

1994 CCC: our infallibilists in paragraphs 299 reflects on God’s created order which man can reflect on—a noteworthy rebranding of original sin? We shall see. Reformed Eagles are overhead and watching the Curia.

Westminster Larger Catechism

Q. 164. How many sacraments hath Christ instituted in his church under the New Testament?
A. Under the New Testament Christ hath instituted in his church only two sacraments, baptism and the Lord's supper.
