- Contents:
- 1, The 1662 Book of common prayer and 'the very pure word of God' : a call to Biblical reformation. Why consider the 1662 Book of common prayer? The particular contexts of the Book of common prayer. The BCP was the product of the political English Reformation
- The purpose of this booklet
- 2, What can we learn from the 1662 Book? The Book of common prayer is intentionally formed by Biblical truth, and focused on the gospel of Christ
- The Book of common prayer precludes and corrects un-Biblical and anti-Biblical doctrines and practices
- In the Book of common prayer the Bible is to be read and to be preached, intentionally and systematically, and is the chief instrument of ministry
- The Book of common prayer provides responses to God that express Bible truths and use Bible words
- 3, Summary. Reformed Anglican theory and practice
- Why is this comprehensive Biblical character important?
- Concluding appeals.
- Notes:
- "The mode of church life and ministry found in the 1662 BCP expresses the theology and practice outlined in the Pastoral Epistles, I and 2 Timothy and Titus. This is significant, because those epistles provide most of the New Testament evidence on what ministry looks like after the apostles. The Reformed tradition of Anglicanism expresses this more successfully than do other traditions within Anglicanism, such as the Anglo-Catholic, the Liberal Catholic, the Charismatic, or non-doctrinal Anglicanism"--p. 65.
