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.

A.G. Dickens, English Reformation, & Select Bibliography


Dickens, A.G. The English Reformation, 2nd Ed. University Park, PA: Pennsylvania State University Press, 1989. Available at:  http://www.amazon.com/English-Reformation-G-Dickens/dp/0271028688/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1374783627&sr=1-1&keywords=a.g.+dickens

Three things here:  (1) A few notes of interest from Mr. Dickens for his current book, (2) other books on Reformation studies by Mr. Dickens, and (3) books by others that are recommended by Mr. Dickens (at the end). This will be a long post.

A few notes of interest from Mr. Dickens for his current book:

·        No apologies for another study on the Reformation since the “religious, cultural and social issues which it raised remain to this day profound and inexhaustible.”

·        “Changed the outlook of Englishmen”

·        Mr. Dickens will seek to explain “why things happened…1529-1559”

·        “…as it affected ordinary men and women…”

·        “In the England of Henry VIII a very different psychological climate arose…”

·        Mr. Dickens will “examine religion…popular and sophisticated…”
