Free Download | Reformed Theology | R. Michael Allen

This book introduces Reformed theology by surveying the doctrinal concerns that have shaped its historical development. Allen sketches the diversity of the Reformed tradition through the past five centuries, whilst at the same time highlighting its continuity with regard to certain theological emphases. In so doing, Allen accentuates that Reformed theology is marked by both formal (`the always reforming church') and material (`the Reformed church') interests.`Clear, calm and illuminating, this book offers a loving and generous commendation of the classical Reformed tradition of doctrine and spiritual practice.' John Webster, Frse, University of Aberdeen, UK`Allen's account of Reformed theology admirably joins clarity with precision, accessibility with gravity, and conviction with charity. Especially strong is the book's thorough attention to major Reformed figures like John Calvin and Karl Barth and major statements of Reformed faith like the Heidelberg Catechism and the Westminster Confession.
