Description
Reviews
Katherine Sonderegger -- Virginia Theological Seminary "Rinse Reeling Brouwer has brought to the English-speaking world the erudite scholarship of Dutch theologian Frans Breukelman. . . Breukelman weighs in on controversies between Edward Dowey and T. H. L. Parker on proper interpretation of Calvin, and he assesses Karl Barth's legacy as a Calvinist theologian. Surprising and instructive insights are gleaned along the way on biblical narrative and the 'historicizing' of doctrine; the roots of Protestant modernism in older orthodoxy; and the relation of Calvin to Luther and Melanchthon. A rich resource for Calvin scholars!"
