description: The theological system known as Calvinism is often caricatured as harsh dour and illogical. But as Dr. Joel R. Beeke argues in this important new book this image could not be further from the truth. Beeke a pastor educator editor and prolific author shows instead that Calvinism is a theology that is firmly rooted in Scripture and works its way out into every area of the believers life. He aims to cover the intellectual and spiritual emphases of Calvinism the way it influences the church and everyday living and its ethical and cultural implications. In this comprehensive survey of Reformed Christianity Dr. Beeke and eight fellow contributors offer twentyeight chapters that trace the history of Calvinism; explore its key doctrinal tenets such as the socalled five points of Calvinism and the solas of the Protestant Reformation; reveal how Calvinists have sought to live in devotion to God; and survey Calvinisms influence in the church and in the world at large. In the end the book asserts that the overriding goal of Calvinism is the glory of God. Saturated with Scripture citations and sprinkled with quotations from wise giants of church history this book presents Calvinism in a winsome and wondrous fashion.
