Evening Prayer (Part 2)

For Theology Proper (locus 2), Prof. Reymond is still long talking his wonky exegesis of Phil. 2.6-11.

For Ecclesiology (locus 6), Prof. Berkhof chatters about the sacraments, but nothing of note that’s not in the WCF. We move along.

ODCC: Dionysius of Corinth, c. 170, wrote several letters, persevered in part by Eusebius, to Rome thanking them for assistances.

For Apostolic Christianity, Vol. 1 (0-100) Prof. Schaff chatters colorfully about Peter, Paul and John.

For Medieval Christianity, Vol. 4 (590-1073), Prof. Schaff discusses Gregory 1’s stern renunciation of a claim to a universal episcopate.

For the Swiss Reformation Vol. 8 (1519-1605), Prof. Schaff comments on Calvin’s legal and theological training.

For Dr. Cranmer, Prof. MacCulloch continues to develop the long-lasting effect of Grynaeus’ efforts and enthusiasms about England. It fosters a long-lasting connection between Cranmer and Bucer that would continue through the Henrician into the Edwardian period.

For the Creeds of Christendom, Prof. Schaff finishes the nasty letter of Pio Nono to the Emperor about the Old Catholics—heretics, schismatics and sons of perdition, excommunicated and outside salvation.

1994 CCC: our infallibilists in paragraphs 300-302 talks about creation and providence but creates a “carve-out” that creation is not done or finished but is developing. A h/t to Darwin. Was not expecting that infallibilism infallibilizing Darwinianism.
