He translated more than thirty of ZwingH's German treatises into Latin, which gave them a much wider constituency. These translations, along with the works originally in Latin, he brought out in 1545 /,' and prefixed to the three volumes in foHo an elaborate Apologia pro Zuinglio, which was also separately published. To Gualther's three volumes a[fourth was added, ^ consisting of bibUcal annotations furnished by Leo jud and Kaspar Megander, either directly from their notes of Zwingli's ' Opera D.

It should be restricted to one thing, namely, Church Government. While it is usually found associated with the Calvinistic system of doctrine, yet this is not necessarily so ; nor is it, indeed, as a matter of fact, always so. Presbyterianism and Calvinism seem to have an affinity for one another, but they are not so closely related as to be essential to each other. They can, and occasionally do, live apart. Calvinism is found in the creeds of other than Presby terian churches ; and Presbyterianism is found professing other doctrines than Calvinism.

  • Presbyterian and Reformed Churches
    Presbyterian and Reformed Churches Presbyterian and Reformed Churches A Global History James Edward McGoldrick with Richard Clark Reed and !omas Hugh Spence Jr. Reformation Heritage Books Grand Rapids, Michigan Preface In 1905 Richard Clark Reed (1851–1925), then professor of church history at Columbia !eological Seminary, produced his History of the Presbyterian Churches of the World . Westminster Press published the book, and it soon became a widely read survey of Presbyterian and Reformed growth around the globe. Reed followed his father into the ministry of the Presbyterian Church in the United States after study at King College and Union !eologi- cal Seminary in Virginia. !e future historian was pastor of congregations in Tennessee, Virginia, and North Carolina before he joined the faculty of Columbia !eological Seminary in 1898. In addition to his pastoral and professorial labors, Reed was associate editor of the Presbyterian Quarterly and the Presbyterian Standard and moderator of the General Assembly of his church in 1892. He wrote !e Gospel as Taught by Calvin, A Historical Sketch of the Presbyterian Church in the United States, and What Is the Kingdom of God? , as well as his major history of Presbyterianism and numerous articles. As his publications indicate, Reed was an active churchman. While a professor at the seminary in Columbia, South Carolina, he decried the higher critical approach to the Old Testament popular in some American institutions. Reed warned that the in*uence of critical hypotheses about the composition of the Bible would lead to a loss of con+dence in its divine authority. As a contributor to the Presbyterian Standard , the professor vig- orously defended the historic Reformed commitment to the supremacy of Scripture and opposed the contentions of Charles Darwin, which he found incompatible with the teaching of Christianity.

  • Patrick Hamilton
    Patrick Hamilton The first preacher and martyr of Scotland’s Reformation The subject of this article, Patrick Hamilton (1505?-1528), was the first preacher and martyr of the 16th-century Reformation in Scotland. He came to my attention as I focused on the Scottish Reformation. It was obvious that somebody else before Knox had already been used by God to put change in motion. According to Knox’s History of the Reformation in Scotland , Patrick Hamilton’s martyrdom marked the beginning of the Scottish Reformation. I did my research mainly from the Special Collections of both Edinburgh and St Andrews Universities. I am amazed that many in the Church of Scotland, including a huge number of its church leaders, know virtually nothing about this most important character in the history of the Church in Scotland. I believe I can say the same regarding the rest of the Reformed churches in the world. His birth, education & theological training Patrick Hamilton was born around 1505 in the diocese of Glasgow, probably at his father’s estate of Stonehouse in Lanarkshire. He was the second son of Sir Patrick Hamilton of Kincavel, well known in Scottish chivalry, and of Catherine Stewart, daughter of Alexander, Duke of Albany, second son of James II of Scotland. He was thus, on both his father’s and his mother’s side, the great-grandson of James II. He was most likely educated at Linlithgow and then at the University of St Andrews. About 1517 he was appointed titular Abbot of Ferne (Fearn) in Ross-shire, though he seems never to have taken priest’s orders.

  • A History of the Christian Church During the Reformation by Charles Hardwick Fifth Edition, Revised by W
    A History of the Christian Church During the Reformation by Charles Hardwick Fifth Edition, Revised by W. Stubbs Macmillan, 1876. [Spelling selectively modernized. Notes moved and in square brackets for web reading. Bible citations converted to all Arabic numerals.] Preface The following Chapters are intended as the sequel and companion to “A History of the Christian Church during the Middle Age.” The author had indulged the hope of giving this new portion to the public at a less distant interval, but found his progress constantly retarded by other duties and engagements. In traversing ground which furnishes so many topics, always full of deep and sometimes melancholy interest to the student of Church history, he was actuated by the principles which guided him throughout the composition of the previous volume. His earnest wish has been to give the reader a trustworthy version of those stirring incidents which mark the Reformation period; without relinquishing his former claim to characterize particular systems, persons, and events, according to the shades and colours they assume, when contemplated from an English point of view, and by a member of the Church of England. Cambridge, February 5, 1856. This third edition is substantially a reprint of the second, which was published in 1865 under the editorship of the Rev. Francis Procter.

  • MJT Fall 2017.Indd
    Midwestern Journal of Theology: 16.2 (2017): 17-44 The Protestant Reformation and the Marriage of Clergy THOMAS P. JOHNSTON Professor of Evangelism Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary There were many moving parts in the Protestant Reformation. And within the Holy Roman Empire with its many city-states and multiple language groups, harnessing these moving parts proves difficult. However, one of the indelible markers of a complete break from Rome was when priests and monks were man:ied---thereby ineparably breaking from their vows of celibacy. Overtime, the Church of Rome had included the Sacrament of Holy Orders (Ordination) in its system of salvation through the Seven Sacraments. Holy Orders induded necessary celibacy beginning in the 11th Century. So. marriage of clergy was a very practical change enacted by the Protestant Reformers. It was not a doctrinal change as much as it was a practical change. And yet the· .change in practice was based in justification by faith and freedom of conscience. In making this final break with Rome and its traditions. the ordained Reformers cut ties with the vow of celibacy. the vow of obedience (to their superior), the monastic. vows as-a-whole, thereby severing themselves from Rome's Sacrament of Holy Matrimony and Sacrament of Holy Orders. Martin Luthers revolutionary recommendations in his 1520 "An Appeal to the Ruling Class" paved the way for major changes regarding clerical ceh'bacy: The proposals with regard to monasticism and derical marriage went beyond anything Luther had said previously. The mendicants should be relieved of hearing confession and prea~. The number of orders should be reduced, and there should be no inevocable vows.

  • A Study in Reformation Origins Thesis, Submitted to the University
    FRANCIS LAMBERT OF AVIGNON: (1487-1530) A Study in Reformation Origins ROY LUTZ rt INTERS Thesis, submitted to the University of Edinburgh, Faculty of Divinity, for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. 1936 II PREFACE The purpose of tnis dissertation is to present for the first time to English readers an account of the life of Fran­ cis Lambert of Avignon as well as to show the place which he filled in the drama of the Reformation. Various short sketches of his career are found in French, German and Latin writings and many references to him have been made by English historians. A German, Johann Wilhelm Baum, produced in 1840 a biography entitled "Franz Lambert von Avignon", which is rated as the best work on this subject. But as far as the writer is aware no competent study has appeared in English. To obtain first hand information of the activities in wnich the subject of this thesis engaged, the author visited a number of the places in which Lambert lived and laboured. Included among these are Basel, Eisenach, Frankenberg, Homberg, karburg, Metz, Strasbourg, Wittenberg and Zurich. An endeavour is made in the following pages to depict the man in his various aspects - as friar, as wanderer for the sake of the Gospel and as reformer and theological professor; and at the same time to outline uis scheme of church government and the religious doctrines tnat animated, him. It has been our aim, further.nore, to sicetcn briefly the bacK^round of his life-story, to set, as it were, the stage for his achievements.

  • THE LIFE of JOHN KNOX by Thomas M’Crie
    THE LIFE OF JOHN KNOX by Thomas M’Crie Champions of Truth Ministry www.champs-of-truth.com 2 THE LIFE OF JOHN KNOX BY THOMAS M’CRIE 3 PREFACE The Reformation from popery marks an epoch unquestionably the most important in the history of modern Europe. The effects of the change which it produced, in religion, in manners, in politics, and in literature, continue to be felt at the present day. Nothing, surely, can be more interesting than an investigation of the history of that period, and of those men who were the instruments, under Providence, of accomplishing a revolution which has proved so beneficial to mankind. Though many able writers have employed their talents in tracing the causes and consequences of the Reformation, and though the leading facts respecting its progress in Scotland have been repeatedly stated, it occurred to me that the subject was by no means exhausted. I was confirmed in this opinion by a more minute examination of the ecclesiastical history of this country, which I began for my own satisfaction several years ago. While I was pleased at finding that there existed such ample materials for illustrating the history of the Scottish Reformation, I could not but regret that no one had undertaken to digest and exhibit the information on this subject which lay hid in manuscripts, and in books which are now little known or consulted. Not presuming, however, that I had the ability or the leisure requisite for executing a task of such difficulty and extent, I formed the design of drawing up memorials of our national Reformer, in which his personal history might be combined with illustrations of the progress of that great undertaking, in the advancement of which he acted so conspicuous a part.

Inventing the Wicked Women of Tudor England: Alice More, Anne Boleyn, and Anne Stanhope Retha M. Warnicke Arizona State University n Tudor histories, perhaps more than in other histories, writers have failed to distinguish, as Judith Shapiro has pointed out with reference Ito anthropological literature, “consistently between the sex bias ema- nating from the observer and the sex bias characteristic of the community under study.”1 The sex and gender bias of early modern society was, of course, pervasive and ubiquitous. Prescriptive works instructed women to confine their activities to domestic and family matters. Even as litigators in the courts of law, they were disadvantaged.2 Generally defining women as the inferior sex, their male contemporaries judged women’s worth by their chastity, silence, piety, obedience, and household efficiency and accused them of being garrulous, materialistic, and driven by lustful intentions.
