Reformed Doctrine of Predestination

This guide examines Reformed beliefs on 16 theological topics, and shows how Reformed understanding relates to the broader ecumenical family of Christian teachings. The author deals with each doctrine’s biblical basis, its handling throughout church history, its specific emphases within the reformed tradition, and its significance for the church in the 21st century. Each chapter ends with discussion questions, is written in non-technical language, and directs the reader via endnotes to further study of primary and secondary sources.

Introducing the Reformed Faith

Michael Horton’s highly anticipated The Christian Faith represents his magnum opus and will be viewed as one of—if not the—most important systematic theologies since Louis Berkhof wrote his in 1932. A prolific, award-winning author and theologian, Professor Horton views this volume as ‘doctrine that can be preached, experienced, and lived, as well as understood, clarified, and articulated.’ It is written for a growing cast of pilgrims making their way together and will be especially welcomed by professors, pastors, students, and armchair theologians. Features of this volume include: (1) a brief synopsis of biblical passages that inform a particular doctrine; (2) surveys of past and current theologies with contemporary emphasis on exegetical, philosophical, practical, and theological questions; (3) substantial interaction with various Christian movements within the Protestant, Catholic, and Orthodoxy traditions, as well as the hermeneutical issues raised by postmodernity; and (4) charts, sidebars, questions for discussion, and an extensive bibliography, divided into different entry levels and topics.
