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.

1 and 2 Kings

An Introduction to the Old Testament

Most modern translations follow the practice in the Septuagint and in Christian tradition of including Kings as part of a larger group of historical books beginning with Joshua and ending with Ezra-Nehemiah and Esther. The Hebrew Bible followed a different system of classification. It was divided into three sections: the law, the prophets, and the writings. The “prophets” were further subdivided into the “former” and “latter” prophets. The former prophets consisted of Joshua, Judges, Samuel, and Kings. These former prophets were followed in turn by the “latter prophets,” a division that included all the books ordinarily associated with the prophets (except for Daniel and Lamentations, both of which were in the third division, the writings). The “prophets” were further subdivided into the “former” and “latter” prophets. The former prophets consisted of Joshua, Judges, Samuel, and Kings. These former prophets were followed in turn by the “latter prophets,” a division that included all the books ordinarily associated with the prophets (except for Daniel and Lamentations, both of which were in the third division, the writings).
