On my morning walk I've contemplated that forgotten Anglican tradition: non-Evangelical Protestantism; a tradition not rooted in revivalism, nor making any accommodation to Tractarianism (like the Broad Churchmen). Figures like Phillips Brookes, Hensley Henson, Stephen Sykes.








@MimiSchizo I think(?) behind the pulpit. Just a horrible design really. The altar is THE most important part of a church and the layout should suggest this.


The 21 volumes are divided into six sections: —Doctrine (Volumes 1-8): These are book-length, polemical treatises that reflect Rutherford's learning, lucidity, and theological wisdom, including some freshly translated from the original Latin by Dr. David Noe and Dr. Joseph Tipton (Feel free to chime in with more details @LatinPerDiem!) —The Magistrate (Volumes 9-10): Two volumes of classical, Reformed thought on the civil magistrate, untampered-with and thoroughly resourced. Dr. Van Dixhoorn writes that "Lex, Rex bought Rutherford his most powerful enemies; A Free Disputation earned him his most eloquent foes, including the poet John Milton." —The Church (Volumes 11-14): "How should the Church relate to the state?" "How should the Church govern herself?" Rutherford argues clearly and forcefully against Congregationalism, Episcopalianism, and Erastianism, subjects hotly debated in his day (and ours!), —The Christian Life (Volume 15): Rutherford's treatise on prayer and sermons in Trial and Triumph of Faith represent his most devotional published works. —Sermons (Volumes 16-17): The fullest text of Rutherford’s sermons and notes of his sermons ever published, including sermons and sermon notes never before printed. Complete with editorial guidance and introductions. —Letters (Volumes 18-19): If Rutherford is most revered for his political theology, he is most beloved for his letters. The bedside companion to many Christians over the years, these personal correspondences are filled with the aroma of Christ from cover to cover. —Shorter Works + Index (Volumes 20-21): Many of these works are ecclesiastical in nature; some are polemical, some pastoral. It is here that Rutherford’s catechism will be found, as well as his Latin poetry. Volume 21 includes a series index to supplement the index in each volume.
