Moreover it is our will that each year for all time in the cathedral church of Durham on the twenty-seventh day of January, solemn rites of the dead shall be held, together with mass on the following day, for the souls of our dearest ancestors and of all the founders and benefactors of the ancient convent of Durham, to which shall be summoned the dean, all the canons, and the rest of the ministers, scholars and poor men. Cap. 34 of Queen Mary’s Statutes of Durham Cathedral, 1554 Translated by Canon Dr David Hunt, March 2014 2 Welcome Welcome to the annual commemoration of Founders and Benefactors. This service gives us an opportunity to celebrate those whose generosity in the past has enriched the lives of Durham’s great institutions today and to look forward to a future that is full of opportunity. On 27 January 1914, the then Dean, Herbert Hensley Henson, revived the Commemoration of Founders and Benefactors. It had been written into the Cathedral Statutes of 1554 but for whatever reason had not been observed for centuries.

  • Tyndale: on the Translation of 'Ecclesia' by Congregation
    Tyndale: On the Translation of ‘Ecclesia’ by Congregation All the words of God are pure and clean, for he is a shield unto all them that put their trust in him. Put thou nothing therefore unto his word, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar. —Proverbs 30:5-6, Matthew Bible T WAS late October of 1526 when Tyndale’s New Testament first appeared in England. I It was a little book, of a size perfect for holding in the hand, smuggled in from continental Europe where it had been printed. In his afterword, Tyndale wrote that he had translated it in great hardship, but to the best of his ability, as faithfully as he could. Upon its arrival, Bishop Cuthbert Tunstall, an adviser to King Henry VIII and a staunch Roman Catholic, leapt into action. He issued a condemnation of Tyndale’s work, and denounced him as a Lutheran and a false and crafty Bible translator: “Many children of iniquity, maintainers of Luther’s sect, blinded through extreme wickedness and wandering from the way of truth and the catholic faith, craftily have translated the New Testament into our English tongue, intermeddling therewith many heretical articles and erroneous opinions ...” 1 Tunstall warned that Tyndale’s translation “profaned the hitherto undefiled majesty of holy Scripture with cunning perversities and heretical depravity.” 2 He staged a burning of the New Testament at Saint Paul’s Cross, and preached a sermon denouncing it as doctrinam peregrinam – that is, strange doctrine. Further book burnings would follow. In 1528, Bishop Tunstall invited Sir Thomas More, who was considered a great scholar, to write against Tyndale, Luther, and other leading Reformers, and gave him permission to read their forbidden works.

  • The Gospel of John in Modern Interpretation Is a Wonderful Intro- Duction to the Fascinating World That Is the New Testament Study of John’S Gospel
    “The Gospel of John in Modern Interpretation is a wonderful intro- duction to the fascinating world that is the New Testament study of John’s gospel. Tracing the general history of the gospel’s treatment, and focusing on the contribution of several key scholars, this book also traces the discussions that drive the gospel’s study and how best to read it. The gospel of John has been an outlier in Jesus studies. This work explains why that should not be so, and what one must pay attention to in reading this crucial gospel. It is well worth a careful read.” —Darrell L. Bock, Senior Research Professor of New Testament Studies, Dallas Theological Seminary “This is a very worthwhile volume, because instead of viewing ‘modern interpretation’ as an abstraction, it looks at eight, carefully chosen modern interpreters, with their whole careers and scholarly contribu- tions in view—not merely their work on John’s gospel. Three of them (Rudolf Bultmann, C. H. Dodd, and Raymond E. Brown) are obvious choices. Five others have been either half-forgotten (B. F. Westcott), unfairly neglected or underappreciated (Adolf Schlatter and Leon Morris), dismissed as idiosyncratic (John A. T. Robinson), or pigeon- holed as a ‘mere’ literary critic (R. Alan Culpepper). They all deserve better, and this collection calls attention, once again, to their substan- tial contributions. A much needed and promising correction. Thank you, Stan Porter and Ron Fay, and your authors!” —J. Ramsey Michaels, Professor of Religious Studies Emeritus, Missouri State University, Springfield “Here is an extremely well-chosen collection of vignettes of major Johannine scholars from the late 1800s to the present.
