We have taken a look at what the consensus of the Magisterial Reformers were concerning images of the Godhead and the Second Commandment now we will read some quotations from the Westminster Divines and of the Puritan writers to see how the ideology moved through time. After this our next look will be at Old Princeton.John Owen, from: The Glory of ChristIn this way Roman Catholics are deceived. They delight outwardly in images of Christ depicting his sufferings, resurrection and glory. By these images they think their love for him grows more and more strong. But no man-made image can truly ... [read more]

I do not know if any on the blogosphere are Civil War Re-Enactors but I am looking to put together a Reformed worship service for the Gettysburg Re-Enactment over the July 4th weekend. At nearly all Re-Enactments I go to the only options for Lord's Day Worship is a Quasi-Pentecostal or some even have RC Mass. So for this reason I am trying to organize a morning service that will allow the non-Pentecostals a place to worship. I am looking for anyone who might be there and would attend or if you would like to help organize/lead with me.I am also looking for ideas from the blogosphere on how/w... [read more]

1. What do the Magisterial Reformers Have to Say Concerning Images? (Cont.)Francis Turretin Institutes of Elenctic Theology, Vol. II, 11th Topic. 10th Question, Sect. II,III, V, VI, and VIIII. The question is not whether all images of whatever kind they may be are prohibited by God . Although this was the opinion of the ancients, Jews as well as Christians (as appears from many passages of Clement of Alexandria, Tertullian and others who thought that all use of images should be absolutely interdicted...)III. The question is not whether it is lawful to represent creatures and to exhibit with... [read more]

1. What do the Magisterial Reformers Have to Say Concerning Images? John Calvin Institutes of Christian Religion, Bk. 1, Ch. 11 , Sect. 1, 1. As Scripture, in accommodation to the rude and gross intellect of man, usually speaks in popular terms, so whenever its object is to discriminate between the true God and false deities, it opposes him in particular to idols; not that it approves of what is taught more elegantly and subtilely by philosophers, but that it may the better expose the folly, nay, madness of the world in its inquiries after God, so long as every...

Here is my much promised series of posts on Images and the Godhead that has been promised for some time. IntroductionI want to begin by forcing our eyes upon the truth that there is a not-so-latent Anti-Nomianism running around in most circles today in both Liberal and Evangelical worlds. The difference being that either side argues around various parts of God's Law so as to establish a defense against the enforcement of the part of God's Law that they would like to see abrogated.

White Horse Inn Commentary © 1995, White Horse Media If you ask Thomas Aquinas, it's one of The Seven Deadly Sins. I'm not talking about adultery, intemperance, or other vices that readily come to mind. Although it is increasingly tolerated even by the most precise moralists of our age, it is intoxicating in its very essence. The sin is "sloth." John Calvin had the temerity to insult Cardinal Sadoleto with the charge that the cleric had an indolent, or lazy, theology, because in spite of his great learning the Cardinal had never really struggled personally with hi...

Girardeau’s "Instrumental Music in Public Worship." A Review by Robert L. Dabney. Instrumental Music in the Public Worship of the Church. By John L. Girardeau, D.D., LL. D., Professor in Columbia Theological Seminary, South Carolina, 12mo, pp. 208. Richmond: Whittet & Shepperson. 1888. The author in his eloquent conclusion anticipates that some will meet his arguments with sneers rather than serious discussion, which he proposes to endure with Christian composure. It is a reproach to our church, which fills us with grief, to find the prediction fulfilled in some quarters.... [read more]
