William Cecil was Elizabeth I's chief councillor. He served her from her accession in November 1558 until his death in August 1598. It was a partnership that lasted 40 years! Just imagine. What would it have been like if Margaret Thatcher had served as Prime Minister from 1979 until 2019!

William Tyndale (ca. 1494–1536) made an enormous contribution to the Reformation in England. Many would say that he made the contribution by translating the Bible into English and overseeing its

Nicene Creed as "Complete Fairy Tale?"

Following a study of Jeremiah recently, we've begun to think about the subject of theological "defamation, deceit, distortion, distraction and dismissal."  Such mental (epistemological), moral (ethics), aesthetic (affections) and volitional (choices) cut across all socio-economic, socio-political and religious classes in Jeremiah's time.  Corrupt doctrine, thinking, teachers, and people--

Unbelievable, there really is—actually, there really is—another Reformed

Article 23: The Justification of Sinners


We believe that our blessedness lies in the forgiveness of our sins because of Jesus Christ, and that in it our righteousness before God is contained, as David and Paul teach us when they declare that man blessed to whom God grants righteousness apart from works.[54] And the same apostle

Reformation Churchmanship: Roundup of J.S. Bach's St. John's Passion

For those seeking, as we must, as hungry people in a dry and weary land, furthered literacy in the Reformation classics, here is Bach's St. John's Passion. Of course, this means a good Reformed, Lutheran and Anglican bibliography.  It means intellectual and cultural resistance to the Anabaptifications of our surroundings. Most "evangelicals" are Anabaptists of sorts, e.g. Piper, Mohler,
