This thesis examines the changing attitudes of Protestants toward Church History. The primary evidence surveyed is statements made within major Protestant confessional documents, as well as the views of selected Reformers. By focusing on how Protestant confessions either quote the church fathers, or affirm continuity with the ancient creeds of the Church, this thesis presents a general overview of how some Protestants have related to Church History.

Degree: Master of Arts Subject: Church History Supervisor: Prof. J.W. Hofmeyr This thesis in Church History examines the changing attitudes of Protestants toward Church History. The primary evdience surveyed is statements within major Protestant confessions, as well as the views of selected Reformers. By focusing on how Protestant confessions either quote the church fathers, or affirm the ancient creeds of the Church, the thesis presents a general overview of how Protestants have related to Church History. This thesis takes advantage of many recent studies on the use of church fathers by the reformers, and new critical study of creeds and confessions. A study of selected reformers and Protestant confessions demonstrates that an important part of the Reformation program was the claim to continuity with the early church, as opposed to the perceived innovations of Rome. A brief survey of reformation attitudes towards history also shows that appeals to church history were largely determined by the historical and polemical context of the times. Calvin and Bucer, for instance, make stronger or weaker appeals to church history depending in which polemical context they found themselves.

This chapter traces appeals to "catholicity" in various branches of the Scottish Reformed and English Protestant traditions. It contrasts some contemporary voices arguing for more frequent communion with authors who argued for more frequent communion in the English and Scottish churches in the 1700s and 1800s. By comparing and contrasting some of the similarities and discontinuities of communion frequency debates in the past, it provides theological and historical resources for those who are navigating issues of communion frequency in the present.
Research Interests:
This chapter explores and summarizes the tensions between communion frequency and church discipline in the early Reformation, with particular attention to Johannes Oecolampadius, Martin Bucer, & John Calvin.

This study aims to summarize and contextualize patterns of communion frequency in the English, Scottish, and early American Puritan Reformed communities. It illuminates the political and ecclesial factors that played important roles in shaping patterns of communion frequency in these Reformed churches. Beginning with the origins of the tradition in the Swiss Reformed churches of the sixteenth century, it surveys developments in the English and Scottish Reformations, as well as early American Reformed communities. Although the desire for more frequent communion was shared by many authors, pastors, and theologians, it was tempered by the pastoral and political realities, structures of church discipline, and by the stress on preparing properly before participating in communion. These patterns and dynamics are also found in other Christian traditions, and so this study lays the foundations for further analysis and comparison.
