While both groups had much in common, there remained fundamental points of disagreement, which erupted into controversies over such doctrines as immediate regeneration and presumptive regeneration. In Saved by Grace, Herman Bavinck discusses God's gracious work in bringing fallen sinners to new life and salvation. He gives a careful historical analysis that shows how Reformed theologians have wrestled to understand and express the Holy Spirit's work in calling and regeneration since the seventeenth century.

Deviant thought forms trickle down from the pulpit to weaken worshipers whose grounds of belief are already faltering. Douglas Vickers addresses this situation in The Texture of Truth by calling the church back to cardinal doctrines that have historically emboldened the Christian faith. Here, in straightforward terms that address the worshiper in the pew, is a sound articulation of what Dr. Vickers aptly refers to as \"essential theology in the life and walk of faith.\" The imperatives of Christian doctrine, soundly understood and held in biblical proportion, will enrich the meaning of the Christian life and the believer's progress in sanctification. The Texture of Truth addresses the doctrines of God, Scripture, the divine covenants, creation and the Fall, the Person of Christ and his redemptive offices, the application of redemption, and the place of the Christian in the church and in the world. --Joel R.

Unfortunately, some have assumed that such a polemic also extended to the rest of Christian theology, as if ‘Protestant’ and ‘scholastic’ were completely antithetical to one another. The brilliance of Richard Muller’s scholarship is his careful unravelling of such caricatures, often driven by today’s agendas, that have led too many to neglect the intentional catholicity that defined Reformed scholasticism. By excavating its doctrine of God, Muller demonstrates the variegated ways Reformed scholastics drew on the best medieval theologians, including Thomas Aquinas. Muller dismantles dismissive readings from neoorthodoxy and Radical Orthodoxy to unveil the persistent retrieval of classical theism and the many ways it complemented the distinctives of Reformed theology. If Muller’s career has shown us anything, it is this: historic Reformed theology is a true participant in the one holy catholic and apostolic church.”\u003cbr\u003e—Matthew Barrett, professor of Christian theology, Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary; director of the Center for Classical Theology; author of The Reformation as Renewal\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“This collection of essays is a laudable complement to the third and fourth volumes of Richard Muller’s monumental Post-Reformation Reformed Dogmatics.

As Muller demonstrates, Calvin and his Reformed heirs were also engaged in further finessing the Christian understanding of how to relate the divine essence and attributes to our talk about the three divine persons. This volume charts the progression and development of that undertaking while fruitfully engaging dissenting contemporary interpretations of the primary sources.

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.
