Reformed Churchmen

We are Confessional Calvinists and a Prayer Book Church-people. In 2012, we remembered the 350th anniversary of the 1662 Book of Common Prayer; also, we remembered the 450th anniversary of John Jewel's sober, scholarly, and Reformed "An Apology of the Church of England." In 2013, we remembered the publication of the "Heidelberg Catechism" and the influence of Reformed theologians in England, including Heinrich Bullinger's Decades. For 2014: Tyndale's NT translation. For 2015, John Roger, Rowland Taylor and Bishop John Hooper's martyrdom, burned at the stakes. Books of the month.

Charlie Ray, thankfully, has informed us of an important development.

Dr. Gerald Bray, Anglican Evangelical Scholar Hired at Knox Theological Seminary
[I just received this e-mail today from Ivey Rose Smith. It looks like Dr. Gerald Bray will be teaching historical theology and biblical exegesis at Knox Theological Seminary, Fort Lauderdale, Florida. This could be a good thing judging from the compromises of the seminary on the Federal Vision issue and on the issue of creation by divine fiat.)

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Dr. Gerald Bray Joins the Faculty at Knox Theological Seminary


FORT LAUDERDALE, FL – 1/31/2012 – The President of Knox Theological Seminary, Dr. Ronald J. Kovack, and the Board of Directors are pleased to announce that Dr. Gerald Bray will be joining the resident faculty as Distinguished Professor of Historical Theology. Dr. Bray’s responsibilities will include teaching the sequence of church history courses to masters-level students and also contributing to the new theological exegesis track in the Doctor of Ministry program, particularly by providing instruction on the use of the history of exegesis.

“Gerald Bray is a scholar of the first order and a committed churchman. He’s knowledgeable about the patristic era and the Reformation era. He is a top-tier historian as well as a faithful theologian. An award-winning author and a master teacher, he will be a wonderful addition to our faculty and a blessing to all our students,” said Dean of Faculty, Dr. Warren A. Gage. Having added Dr. Bruce Waltke in the past two years and the impressive duo of Dr. Jonathan Linebaugh as the new Assistant Professor of New Testament and pastor theologian Dr. Jim Belcher as the Associate Professor of Practical Theology in the past year, Knox Seminary is pleased to add yet another theological gem to the faculty that is committed to the seminary’s core values of training students in the Reformed tradition to be Christ centered, gospel driven, and mission focused.

Dr. Bray holds a B.A. degree from McGill University and an M.Litt. along with a D. Litt. from the University of Paris-Sorbonne. With a vast curriculum vitae, he most recently has been the Research Professor of Divinity at Beeson Divinity School where he has taught church history and theology since 1993. Dr. Bray has also served as director of research for the Latimer Trust, an evangelical think tank in London. He is the most widely renowned evangelical church historian and, specifically, the evangelical expert on the history of biblical exegesis. He authored the first major textbook on the subject as well as edited four volumes on the history of biblical commentary.
