After Calvin: Studies in the Development of a Theological Tradition (Oxford Studies in Historical Theology)

This is a sequel to Richard Muller's The Unaccomodated Calvin OUP 2000). In the previous book, Muller attempted to situate Calvin's theological work in their historical context and to strip away various twentieth-century theological grids that have clouded our perceptions of the work of the Reformer. In the present book, Muller carries this approach forward, with the goal of overcoming a series of nineteenth- and twentieth-century theological frameworks characteristic of much of the scholarship on Reformed orthodoxy, or what might be called Calvinism after Calvin.

Scholarly perspectives on the phenomenon of post-Reformation Protestantism have altered dramatically in the last three decades.
