'Clear, calm and illuminating, this book offers a loving and generous commendation of the classical Reformed tradition of doctrine and spiritual practice.' - John Webster, FRSE, Chair of Systematic Theology, Department of Divinity and Religious Studies, University of Aberdeen, UK. -- John Webster FRSE
‘Michael Allen's account of Reformed theology admirably joins clarity with precision, accessibility with gravity, and conviction with charity. Especially strong is the book's thorough attention to major Reformed figures like John Calvin and Karl Barth and major statements of Reformed faith like the Heidelberg Catechism and the Westminster Confession. While Allen does not shy away from full treatment of differences among Reformed theologians, his accent rests upon the distinctive ways in which Reformed theology incorporates and interprets the historic Christian message. The book is a splendid introduction for those who are in Reformed churches and an inviting invitation to dialogue with those who are not.' - Mark A. Noll, Francis A. McAnaney Professor of History, University of Notre Dame, USA. -- Mark A. Noll
‘This is a splendid volume. Drawing deeply from the past while engaging a wide variety of contemporary voices, Reformed Theology nevertheless summarizes the richness of Reformed teaching with clarity and insight. Allen focuses on the main issues and beneath the superb brevity lies a deep reservoir of research.' - Michael Horton, J. Gresham Machen Professor of Theology, Westminster Seminary California, USA. -- Michael Horton
