May 24, vittore paleni rated it really liked it. I am a Catholic who converted from Protestantism. I made my way from Evangelicalism, to Anglicanism, to Catholic. All the while, I never felt any affinity for Calvinism or Reformed Theology. Upon being Catholic, I find it important to understand differing theologies moreso than ever. This book was a very good introductory overview of Reformed Theology. I did learn, most importantly, that Catholics and Reformed Christians both share a deep concern for continuity in the Church.

Still, our definitions, emphases, and idea of Church are worlds apart. One major difference being that Catholics believe in the Christ mandate that The gates of Hell would not prevail against the Church Christ founds on St. This has an application of specific infallibility involved in the magisterium of the Church where Christ protects the teaching of the Church.

    No one knows when the acronym was first used, but the grouping of these ideas first occurred in the early s. The story goes like this. A group of ministers heavily influenced by the teachings of Jacob Arminius drafted a theological document called the Remonstrance, which had five points.

    The five points of the Remonstrance were actually a critique of Calvinistic teachings.

    Carson are the co-founders of The Gospel Coalition, a ministry committed to helping churches faithfully communicate the gospel and train Christian leaders. These differences among the broadly reformed illustrate why I put a question mark after the heading for this section; some see a substantial continuity between the Old and New Testaments, and others do not. Let me back up to explain. The difference between these two groups has to do with the amount of continuity or discontinuity each group sees between the Old and New Testaments.

    Presbyterian theology tends to see greater continuity between the testaments though of course not complete continuity , while reformed Baptist theology tends to see more discontinuity between the testaments though of course not complete discontinuity. One specific area in which this plays out is how much continuity each group sees between the people of God in the Old Testament Israel and the people of God in the New Testament the Church. The slight differences here lead each group to have a different understanding of baptism. You were probably aware of the differences between Baptists and Presbyterians over baptism—Presbyterians practice infant baptism and Baptists baptize only adult believers—but you might not have been aware of some of the background that leads to this difference.
