Predestination in Early Modern Reformed Theology (Reformed Historical-Theological Studies)

In this Reformed Historical-Theological Study, Dr. Richard A. Muller delves into one of the most controversial doctrines of Reformed Theology: predestination.Muller carefully investigates key incidents that illustrate the doctrine’s complexity and development by surveying Reformed thought on predestination in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Along the way, Muller challenges distorted ideas about the placement of predestination in theological systems, naïve readings of Calvin based solely on his Institutes, simplistic representations of supra- and infralapsarian debates, and uncharitable views of Reformed theologians as hyper-dogmatists obsessed with their own tradition.ContentsAcknowledgmentsIntroductionPredestination in the Eras of the Reformation and Early Reformed OrthodoxyThe Placement of Predestination in Reformed TheologyCalvin on Predestination: A Developmental and Bibliographical EssayInclusive Supralapsarianism: The Heritage of Franciscus Junius and the Leiden Theology in Early Modern Reformed ThoughtDefending Dort: John Robinson and the Separatist Predestinarian ControversyJoseph Hall (1574–1656): Toward Peace in the Church and a Reformed Via MediaIndex Read more
