Book Synopsis The Covenant of Redemption by : John V. Fesko
Download or read book The Covenant of Redemption written by John V. Fesko and published by Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht. This book was released on 2015-12-09 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The covenant of redemption (pactum salutis), the eternal intra-trinitarian covenant, was a common staple within Early Modern Reformed theology, yet there are very few historical works that examine this doctrine. J. V. Fesko's study, The Covenant of Redemption: Origins, Development, and Reception, seeks to address this lacuna.In the contemporary period the covenant of redemption has been derided as speculative, mythological, a declension from trinitarianism, or erroneously derived from one or two biblical proof-texts. Yet seldom have critics carefully engaged the primary sources to examine the different formulations, supporting exegesis, and ways in which the doctrine was employed.Far from speculation, sub-trinitarian, or a cold business transaction, proponents of the covenant of redemption constructed this doctrine based upon a web of interconnected biblical texts and were very sensitive to maintaining a robust doctrine of the trinity, as they employed this doctrine as a bulwark against the anti-trinitarian claims of Socinian theologians. Proponents of the doctrine also saw this pre-temporal covenant as the embodiment of intra-trinitarian love that overflows unto those chosen in Christ for their salvation and ultimate fellowship with the triune God.John V. Fesko explores the historical origins of the doctrine and then surveys its development in the seventeenth- through nineteenth-centuries, examining key advocates of the doctrine including, David Dickson, Herman Witsius, Johannes Cocceius, Francis Turretin, Patrick Gillespie, John Gill, Jonathan Edwards, Charles Hodge, and A. A. Hodge. He then examines the contemporary reception of the doctrine in the twentieth century with a survey of the doctrine's critics, including Karl Barth, Herman Hoeksema, Klaas Schilder, and John Murray. After exploring the claims of the critics, the study moves to examine the views of twentieth-century proponents, including Geerhardus Vos, Herman Bavinck, Abraham Kuyper, Louis Berkhof, and G. C. Berkouwer.
Book Synopsis Historical Dictionary of the Reformed Churches by : Robert Benedetto
Download or read book Historical Dictionary of the Reformed Churches written by Robert Benedetto and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2023-10-15 with total page 895 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As its name implies, the Reformed tradition grew out of the 16th century Protestant Reformation. The Reformed churches consider themselves to be the Catholic Church reformed. The movement originated in the reform efforts of Huldrych Zwingli (1484-1531) of Zurich and John Calvin (1509-1564) of Geneva. Although the Reformed movement was dependent upon many Protestant leaders, it was Calvin's tireless work as a writer, preacher, teacher, and social and ecclesiastical reformer that provided a substantial body of literature and an ethos from which the Reformed tradition grew. Today, the Reformed churches are a multicultural, multiethnic, and multinational phenomenon. Historical Dictionary of the Reformed Churches, Third Edition contains a chronology, an introduction, and an extensive bibliography. The dictionary section has more than 1,000 cross-referenced entries on leaders, personalities, events, facts, movements, and beliefs of the Reformed churches. This book is an excellent resource for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about reformed churches.
Book Synopsis Buckley and Mailer: The Difficult Friendship That Shaped the Sixties by : Kevin M. Schultz
Download or read book Buckley and Mailer: The Difficult Friendship That Shaped the Sixties written by Kevin M. Schultz and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 2015-06-01 with total page 478 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A lively chronicle of the 1960s through the surprisingly close and incredibly contentious friendship of its two most colorful characters. Norman Mailer and William F. Buckley, Jr., were towering personalities who argued publicly and vociferously about every major issue of the 1960s: the counterculture, Vietnam, feminism, civil rights, the Cold War. Behind the scenes, the two were friends and trusted confidantes. In Buckley and Mailer, historian Kevin M. Schultz delivers a fresh and enlightening chronicle of that tumultuous decade through the rich story of what Mailer called their "difficult friendship." From their public debate before the Floyd Patterson–Sonny Liston heavyweight fight and their confrontation at Truman Capote’s Black-and-White Ball, to their involvement in cultural milestones like the antiwar rally in Berkeley and the March on the Pentagon, Buckley and Mailer explores these extraordinary figures’ contrasting visions of America.
Book Synopsis James Durham (1622–1658) by : Donald John MacLean
Download or read book James Durham (1622–1658) written by Donald John MacLean and published by Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht. This book was released on 2015-03-11 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The free offer of the gospel has been a matter of significant debate within Reformed theology. However, despite this controversy, Reformed theologians such as James Durham preached a gospel offer which was a sincere and free invitation from God to all, to embrace Jesus Christ as Saviour. This gospel offer expressed God's grace and goodness to all. Donald MacLean argues that Durham's doctrinal position is representative of the Westminster Standards and embraced by his contemporaries and evidenced by the later disputes concerning the meaning of the teaching of the Westminster Confession of Faith.
Book Synopsis Predestination and Preaching in Genevan Theology from Calvin to Pictet by : Pieter L. Rouwendal
Download or read book Predestination and Preaching in Genevan Theology from Calvin to Pictet written by Pieter L. Rouwendal and published by Summum Academic. This book was released on 2017-10-31 with total page 367 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Given the conclusions of recent research, that predestination was no central dogma to, and did not affect the method of reformed theology, this study investigates the question of if and how the doctrine of predestination affected the ideas and practice of preaching. The relation of predestination and covenant, congregation, atonement, faith etc. are researched in the theology and sermons of John Calvin, Theodore Beza, John Diodati, and Theodore Tronchin, Francis Turretin, and Benedict Pictet. This study shows that in Genevan Reformed Theology from Calvin to Pictet, predestination and the external call were inseparably connected, but that the doctrine of predestination neither dominated the content nor restricted the address of the external call.

Download or read book Sin and Grace written by Henry Danhof and published by . This book was released on 2003-01-01 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in Dutch in the USA in 1923 and titled Van Zonde en Genade, book argues against the concept of a common grace of God to the reprobate that was first introduced into theological circles by Dr. Abraham Kuyper of the Netherlands. Authors show the theory of common grace to be unbiblical and contrary to the Reformed continental creeds. The authors supply a brief history of the importance of particular grace in Reformed theology, land ay out their analysis of sin and grace using an "organic" approach, often quoting from Kuyper's work De Gemeene Gratie. They answer pro-common grace arguments of Rev. Henry Wierenga of the Christian Reformed Church and of Dr. Valentine Hepp of the Free University of Amsterdam. They also exegete key Bible passages that pro-common grace men were fond of quoting. This book is of historical importance in revealing the controversies of the 1920s, which resulted, after the pubication of the book, in the deposition of both authors from the Christian Reformed Church and their helping to found the Protestant Reformed Churches, which stood squarely against common grace and for a particular grace of God in the salvation of the elect.
Book Synopsis The Presbyterian Philosopher by : Douglas J. Douma
Download or read book The Presbyterian Philosopher written by Douglas J. Douma and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2017-01-24 with total page 323 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the story of Gordon Clark (1902-85), respected philosopher and prolific writer, who held that Christianity, as a logically coherent system, is superior to all other philosophies. Clark fought no wars and conquered no kingdoms. Yet he was a leading figure in many theological wars fought for the Kingdom of God. These battles for the minds and souls of men were every bit as crucial as physical wars between nations. In an age of increasing secularization, he put up an intellectual defense of the Christian faith. This faith, he believed, was a system. All of its parts link together, a luxury of no other philosophy. His stance shows a Christianity that is in fact intellectual, not relying on appeals to emotion or experience. In propounding this view, he encountered frequent opposition, not from the secular world, but from within his own denomination. This biography helps explain why his thought was so profound, why resistance mounted against him, and how his struggles impacted American Presbyterianism. Additionally, this book calls for a reappraisal of Clark's views, which have been maligned by controversy. Understanding and applying his views could significantly fortify Christians combating irrational and non-systematic ideas prevalent in today's churches.
Book Synopsis Dutch Calvinism in Modern America by : James D. Bratt
Download or read book Dutch Calvinism in Modern America written by James D. Bratt and published by Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing. This book was released on 1984 with total page 374 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A rare combination of scholarship and wit. Delightful for anyone seeking insight on the Dutch in modern America." - George Marsden In this scholarly yet entertaining book, James D. Bratt takes a look at the Dutch in America from the late 19th century to the present. A comprehensive study of an ethnic subculture, the book is in large part a study of the groups religious history as well, since, as Bratt points out, the contours of the Dutch presence in America have been overwhelmingly shaped by the church and its subsidiary organizations. Although the book is extensively and scrupulously documented, Bratt has infused his scholarship with a considerable amount of anecdote that is by turns poignant and tragic and hilarious. In Bratts analysis of the fitful progress of Americanization that this close-knit religious community has undergone, we are treated to the sharp insights of a bemused and sometimes disaffected insider. Included is a chapter on novelists Arnold Mulder, David Cornel DeJong, Frederick Manfred, and Peter DeVries - four sons of the Dutch who fled the subculture only to reflect upon it almost obsessively from the outside. Well written, scholarly, and highly readable Dutch Calvinism in Modern America will have wide appeal among both academic and general readers. James D. Bratt is Professor of history at Calvin College in Grand Rapids, Michigan.
Book Synopsis Biblical Interpretation and Doctrinal Formulation in the Reformed Tradition by : Arie C. Leder
Download or read book Biblical Interpretation and Doctrinal Formulation in the Reformed Tradition written by Arie C. Leder and published by Reformation Heritage Books. This book was released on 2014-04-16 with total page 408 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Reformed tradition is characterized by a rigorous commitment to theological formulation, yet it is equally known for its commitment to rooting its life and practice in the authority of God’s Word. While these two commitments are commonly acknowledged, the path from biblical interpretation to doctrinal formulation is often overlooked. Examining a diverse group of thinkers across the chronological and international spectrum of the Reformed tradition, this book demonstrates the depth and intricacies involved in the tasks of exegesis and dogmatic construction, the ways they intersect, and the effect it has on the church.

Download or read book Reformation written by Diarmaid MacCulloch and published by Penguin UK. This book was released on 2004-09-02 with total page 1195 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Reformation was the seismic event in European history over the past 1000 years, and one which tore the medieval world apart. Not just European religion, but thought, culture, society, state systems, personal relations - everything - was turned upside down. Just about everything which followed in European history can be traced back in some way to the Reformation and the Counter-Reformation which it provoked. The Reformation is where the modern world painfully and dramatically began, and MacCulloch's great history of it is recognised as the best modern account.
