"Intro to Reformed Theology: A Calvinist Survival Guide" is a comprehensive and deeply insightful exploration of Reformed theology and its principal tenets, as seen through the lens of Calvinism. The book takes its readers on a thorough journey through the rich landscape of the Reformed faith, beginning with the fundamental aspects of Reformed theology, its history, the meaning and significance of the Five Solas, and the role of man's corruption and his conversion to God.
Part II delves into a more specific analysis of Calvinism, its defense, its five crucial points, and its place in today's religious discussions. The book, then, ventures into the intricate aspects of God's sovereignty, addressing the questions of His power in the salvation of man and the diverse objections raised against this idea.
The subsequent sections meticulously examine the concepts of total depravity, unconditional election, limited atonement, irresistible grace, and the preservation of the saints. Each notion is meticulously dissected, illustrated by key theological figures such as C. H. Spurgeon, B. B. Warfield, and Jonathan Edwards, among others. Biblical validation, historical context, and answers to common objections are also explored to bring a more rounded understanding.
The final part of the book focuses on the "ordo salutis" or the order of salvation, a crucial concept in Reformed Theology that presents the sequence of God's redemptive plan for man. The appendices offer valuable resources such as the full text of the Canons of Dort, a categorized scripture list, and explorations of the different covenants in theology.
This is an essential read for anyone interested in comprehending the depth of Reformed Theology from a Calvinist perspective, offering detailed exposition of key doctrines while also providing the tools needed to engage with potential objections and misunderstandings. "Intro to Reformed Theology: A Calvinist Survival Guide" is an indispensable resource for students, theologians, and anyone eager to dig deeper into the richness of Reformed theology.
