  • Sacraments and Baptism in the Reformed Confessions
    MTJ 11 (2000) 21-86 SACRAMENTS AND BAPTISM IN THE REFORMED CONFESSIONS by Cornelis P. Venema Introduction FEW STUDENTS OF the great reformation of the Christian church in the sixteenth century would quarrel with the thesis that it restored the centrality of the pulpit to the worship of the congregation of Jesus Christ. A casual observer of the architecture of the churches of the Reformation will immediately notice the central location of the pulpit in their sanctuaries and the prominence of preaching in the liturgy or form of worship. Convinced that Christ was pleased to communicate himself to his people through the living preaching of the Word of God, the Reformers uniformly insisted upon the central and indispensable place of the ministry of the Word as a means of grace. However, this emphasis upon preaching was not intended to diminish the indispensable and integral role of the sacraments in Christian worship and the imparting of Christ’s grace to his people. Though the Reformers opposed what they regarded as an unbiblical sacramentalism or sacerdotalism in the medieval Roman Catholic Church, they never embraced a spirit or practice of anti-sacramentalism. In the confessions and polemics of the sixteenth century regarding the nature and effectiveness of the sacraments, ample evidence is provided of the Reformers’ conviction that Christ is pleased to dwell among and in his people, not only through the preaching of the Word, but also 22 • MID-AMERICA JOURNAL OF THEOLOGY through the proper administration of the sacraments which necessarily accompany the Word. Indeed, when measured against the teaching and practice of the magisterial Reformers, the practice of many evangelical churches, even churches that stand historically in the tradition of the Reformation, represents a declension and impoverishment with regard to the sacraments.

  • Voices of African American Princeton
    © Copyright, Princeton University Press. No part of this book may be distributed, posted, or reproduced in any form by digital or mechanical means without prior written permission of the publisher. Introduction “The North’s Most Southern Town” I The time is the twentieth century and the place is the center of the borough of Princeton, New Jersey, where white church spires and flowering, tree- lined streets reflect the aura of the world- renowned Princeton University, well known for a steady stream of Nobel Prizes and accolades for its illustri- ous professors, graduates, and alumni. Every year, thousands of visitors from around the world walk the hallowed grounds where famous predecessors have tread, not only at Princeton University but also at the nearby Insti- tute for Advanced Study, Princeton Theological Seminary, and Westminster Choir College. Unknown to most of those visitors, as well as to most university students and local white residents, is the existence of an active, yet historic African American community in the very heart of Princeton, only a few minutes’ walk from the university. This book, I Hear My People Singing: Voices of African American Princeton, gives testimony to the firsthand experiences of individuals who built a close- knit and vibrant community within a segregated Northern Jim Crow town, where “the doctrine of white supremacy was held almost as tenaciously above the Mason- Dixon Line as below it.”1 This neighborhood took shape in the 1700s across the road from what would become Nassau Street and Princeton University’s Nassau Hall. Origi- nally established by the Presbyterian Church as the “College of New Jersey” in 1746 in Elizabeth, New Jersey, and permanently situated in Princeton in For general queries, contact [email protected] © Copyright, Princeton University Press.
