Evening Prayer




For Psalm 19, Prof. Calvin focuses on the glory in creation and Law. The glory of God is reflected in both.

ISBE on Exodus: Prof. R. K. Harrison notes that the Sinaitic Covenant bound God and the Israelites to an established legal framework, theological, in which Israel was tied to one God, unlike the other nations.

For Genesis 3.1ff. and the Fall: Prof. Keil comments on the serpent and the Tempter.

For Judges 1, Prof. Keil offers further introductory comments on Judges.

For Isaiah 7.10-16, Prof. Henry comments on the promise of Immanuel, a sign of hope for Ahaz.

ISBE on Mark: Dr. R. P. Martin offers meaningless gobbledygook on Mark 1.1. Move along Doctor.

For Mathew 5.21ff., Prof. Jamiesson is dealing with the true spirit of the moral law, elevating as it were, its true intent.

For Romans 3.9-20, Prof. Hodge debunks the Romanists, Arminians, Quietists, Schleiermachians and others who advocate justification by sanctification.

For Revelation 16.17-21, Prof. Henry is about the 7th angel and the 7th vial. Buckle up, Armageddon is here.

EDT on the Enlightenment: contains an obscure and odd connection to Free Masonry, noting that many Enlightenment people. Peculiar and intrusive allusion. ??.

In the Global Anglican, Rev. Philip Keen proposes to evaluate whether evangelical Anglicans seriously committed to Scriptures, in fact, “preach the whole counsel of God.”

For Systematic Theology (locus 2), Prof. Hodge is exploring Quietism.

For Theology Proper (locus 2), Prof. Reymond wonderfully comments on Christ’s divine attributes—sovereignty, authority, omnipotence, and omniscience. Dr. Remairus, do you trifle with the divine vengeance while you trifle with the Divine and Royal Word?

For Ecclesiology (locus 6), Prof. Berkhof notes the role of the Church as the Custodian of God’s Word, including rightful, pejorative comments on the 19th century blasphemers inside the church. Additionally, the Royal King’s Word commands evangelism and edification and that the King is ever-working in His Royal Church.

ODCC: comments on Aristides, a 2nd century apologist coordinated with Quadratus, another apologete.

For Apostolic Christianity, Vol. 1 (0-100) Prof. Schaff proceeds to prosecute the thesis of the absolute centrality of the resurrection. Dr. Gaffin would agree.

For Medieval Christianity, Vol. 4 (590-1073), Prof. Schaff outlines basic Islamist worship.

For the Swiss Reformation Vol. 8 (1519-1605), Prof. Schaff continues the litany of tributes from 19th century German scholars, including August Tholuck, a contemporary of Charles Hodge frequently quoted by Hodge on Romans.

For Dr. Cranmer, Prof. MacCulloch notes that Dr. Cranmer took a trip to London in Oct 1528 with a follow-on to Ispwich, bearing a letter of Crumwell, Wolsey’s agent, to William Capon, doubling as a Dean of Ipswich College and Jesus College. What’s Dr. Cranmer up to? Meanwhile, Campeggio lands in England in that time-frame but adjourns the Blackfriars inquiry on the King’s matter in July 1529, an act of procedural sabotage to allow Catherine’s case to go to Rome. Henry has a strange mix of wrath, loss of confidence, and perplexity in summary 1529. But August, Dr. Cranmer factors into the discussion at Waltham Abbey and the Cressy’s quarters (44).
