>Yoga for Episcopalians - a healing discipline

>By Linda Brown Holt

[Episcopal News Service] I had a conversation recently with a fellow
Episcopalian about the practice of yoga. We didn't go very far into
the conversation, because he bristled at the idea of Christians
practicing yoga, and I, on the other hand, am celebrating 50 years of
yoga practice in 2010.

"The Structure of Sacred Doctrine in Calvin's Theology" by Frans H.
Breukelman, paperback, 262 pages, Jun 2010, $35.

[Eerdmans Publishing] Having completed three collections of work
during his lifetime, Dutch theologian Frans H. Breukelman left much of
his work to be published by a later generation of students. Rinse H.
Reeling Brouwer has taken up the task, resulting in The Structure of
Sacred Doctrine in Calvin's Theology.

Brouwer brings to life Breukelman's extensive study of Calvin's
doctrine from the first form of his Institutes - the 1536 basic
catechism - through all of its incarnations to the 1559 final,
definitive form. Breukelman illuminates the deep theological
significance of Calvin's many changes to the Institutes, showing that
the form and structure of doctrine reveal the hidden direction of the
content. Finally, Brouwer focuses on Breukelman's intriguing belief
that the entire Reformed doctrinal tradition has proceeded along the
line of only one of the possibilities in the structure of Calvin's
theology.
