On The Eucharist: Defanging the Black Rubric

Sweet, Pleasant, and Unspeakable Comfort: The Anglican View of Predestination (Part III)
While I have taken great pains to point out that the Anglican position on predestination does not mirror the Calvinist position, it is worth noting that the Anglican position also does not mirror the opposite positions of Arminianism and Universalism. … Continue reading

Ask an Anglican: The 39 Articles

Many Anglicans today draw their sense of Christian identity from a source other than Anglicanism. We see ourselves as Reformed, Calvinist, Lutheran, Papalist, or Pentecostal before we see ourselves as Anglican, and we form our theology first and foremost from … Continue reading
When God Must Impress Himself
Over at the excellent blog “An Exercise in the Fundamentals of Orthodoxy,” Peter Ould and I have been going back and forth on the topic of election. Peter takes a strict Calvinist position, arguing for total depravity and a limited … Continue reading
