Set in the historic St. John’s Church of Savannah, Georgia, this course introduces students to Prayer Book Catholicism. Prayer Book Catholics are heirs of the Oxford Movement who regard the Book of Common Prayer as the rule of life and definitive articulation of Catholic doctrine for Anglicans. From its origin in the mid-nineteenth century, this variety of churchmanship played an important role in shaping both the Church of England, the American Episcopal Church, and the Anglican Church of Canada through figures such as Percy Dearmer, Charles Grafton, C. B. Moss, Michael Ramsey, and Robert Crouse. Students in this course will (1) analyze the overall design, liturgies, lectionaries, and doctrines of the Book of Common Prayer prior to the mid-20th century liturgical movement (especially the 1662 and 1928 recensions); (2) participate in the form of the Daily Office and Holy Communion contained in the 1928 Book of Common Prayer; (3) describe the mechanics of implementing these liturgies in a parish setting; (4) explain key differences between the 1662, 1928, 1962, and 1979 recensions of the Book of Common Prayer.

With the disappearance of the plausibility structures of a Christian culture in the modern and late modern Western world, Christians face anew the perennial question of the relationship between the church and her surrounding culture. How is it that the position of the church has changed so drastically over the past several centuries? In what sense can and ought we to speak of the church providing a distinctive culture? How should Christians take their place among the cacophony of voices in contemporary society? In this course we will study past and contemporary theological models to study these and other questions. In so doing, we will analyze the various theological issues at stake and develop a distinctly ecclesial approach to the theology of culture.

This course will examine John Henry Newman’s Lectures on the Doctrine of Justification. Particular attention will be given to reading Newman’s Lectures in their historical context as an attempted via media between popular Protestantism and Romanism. In addition, Newman’s reading of the Articles and Homilies will be assessed in light of his teaching on justification. The goal of this course is to gain an understanding of Newman’s via media theology of justification by divine indwelling. To that end, it will be an in-depth examination of Newman’s claim that his Lectures were a unique theology of justification between popular Protestantism and Romanism. Both the truthfulness of the claim will be questioned, as well as the historical factuality and presuppositions with which Newman himself worked.
