Reformed Theology in America:

A History of Its Modern Development
Front Cover
David F. Wells
0 Reviews
Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing, 1985 - Religion - 317 pages
Modern Reformed Theology In America Has shown astonishing variety in its expression. Grouped under the name "Reformed" are, in fact, five diverse traditions - the Princeton theology, Westminster Calvinism, the Dutch schools, Southern Reformed thought, and Neoorthodoxy. This book provides penetrating analysis of these five traditions and the two leading theologians of each. The result is an important advance in our understanding of what being Reformed has meant and what it should now mean in the late twentieth century. Book jacket.
