In This Exciting Volume, New And Emerging Voices Join Senior Reformed Scholars In Presenting A Coherent And Impassioned Articulation Of Calvinism For Today's World. Evangelical Calvinism Represents A Mood Within Current Reformed Theology. The Various Contributors Are In Different Ways Articulating That Mood, Of Which Their Very Diversity Is A Significant Element. In Attempting To Outline Features Of An Evangelical Calvinism, A Number Of The Contributors Compare And Contrast This Approach With That Of Federal Calvinism Currently Dominant In North American Reformed Theology, Challenging The Assumption That Federal Calvinism Is The Only Possible Expression Of Orthodox Reformed Theology. This Book Does Not, However, Represent The Arrival Of A New Calvinism Or Even A Neo-calvinism, If By Those Terms Are Meant A Novel Reading Of The Reformed Faith. An Evangelical Calvinism Highlights A Calvinistic Tradition That Has Developed Particularly Within Scotland, But Is Not Unique To The Scots. The Editors Have Picked Up The Baton Passed On By John Calvin, Karl Barth, Thomas Torrance, And Others, In Order To Offer The Family Of Reformed Theologies A Reinvigorated Theological And Spiritual Ethos. This Volume Promises To Set The Agenda For Reformed-calvinist Discussion For Some Time To Come.--from Publisher.
