Calvin’s Crucial Contribution to Anglicanism
Posted by tom | Oct 17, 2008Thank-you to Miller for passing along a link to Justyn Terry's lecture on Calvin’s Crucial Contribution to Anglicanism from Grove City's recent Evangelical Scholarship Conference (Note: 2008-2009 lecture schedule posted here). Justyn Terry is President of Trinity Episcopal School of Ministry, where he also serves as Professor of Systematic Theology. By-the-way, the page demonstrates how much our alma mater has stepped into the technological age as it includes notes in Word, Powerpoint (w/a great plug for of Trinity Episcopal School of Ministry at the end), and video.
With regard to the content, I really appreciated Terry's consideration of
- The three-legged stool with a priority to Scripture.
- The Church as ‘political society’ and ‘supernatural society’ – with divine purpose, i.e., the mystical church
- The things necessary/essential to salvation and accessories/indifferent
- Stress on the faith of believer in the Lord's Supper and not how Christ is present/not present
May the Lord grant, that we may engage in contemplating the mysteries of his heavenly wisdom with really increasing devotion, to his glory and to our edification. Amen. -- John Calvin, used at the beginning of his lectures.
