Book Reviews of What is Reformed Theology?: Understanding the Basics
Book Review: Excelent reading
Summary: 5 Stars
A great book for those who wants to deepens in theology. This book is a must to any serious Bible student. With an easy to understand style, Dr Sproul explains the roots of Reformed Theology and its implications to christians of all times. Book Review: Superb overview of Reformed Theology
Summary: 5 Stars
Dr Sproul is gifted with making the deeper truths of Scripture understandable. This book is an example of that.
I found myself reading it three times because it affected me profoundly.
At first, this book is a "high level" overview of Reformed Theology (as it is distinguished from broad evangelicalism and Roman Catholicism especially and explains what doctrines are held in common, as well).
While Reformed theology is composed of "the five points of Calvinism" and covenant theology as a framework, it is more than that, including a starting point doctrine of God that is controlling and related to every other doctrine.
Along the way, the book deals with some of the profound truths of Scripture such as how Jesus can be both man and God in an easy-to-read format. It conveys a sense of history with such events as the Council of Nicea in which the broader Church established these doctrines. It took a couple read-throughs to digest these and now has greatly helped my understanding of them.
Not only is this book a good overview with good substantive explanation of key points but it useful as a reference text or as text for a Sunday school class.
This book has the quality and information of many books all wrapped up in one. Absolutely outstanding.
Book Review: A very clear introduction on Reformed Theology
Summary: 5 Stars
Being a non-Reformed person, I have always wanted a clear explanation of the Reformed viewpoint without a lot of the theological jargon. I found it in this wonderful book by R.C. Sproul. He explains the foundations of Reformed theology and the 5 Points of Reformed Theology.
The chapters in this book are as follows:
Part 1 Foundations of Reformed Theology
1 Centered on God
2 Based on God's Word Alone
3 Committed to Faith Alone
4 Devoted to the Prophet, Priest and King
5 Nicknamed Covenant Theology
Part 2 5 Points of Reformed Theology
6 Humanity's Radical Corruption
7 God's Sovereign Choice
8 Christ's Purposeful Atonement
9 The Spirit's Effective Call
10 God's Preservation of the Saints
R.C. Sproul explains with very clear text and helpful charts all the essentials of Reformed theology -- TULIP, covenant theology, God's Sovereignty, Limited Atonement, etc. This helped me so much to get a good overview and understanding of the essentials of Reformed Theology. Highly recommended!!
Book Review: Bible Study book
Summary: 5 Stars
Ten women in a PCA church are monthly discussing the contents. Not an easy read but a great one. It is a good review of theology.especially if you come from a reformed tradition but if not it explains a lot of things- especially the differences between Catholic and Protestant views.Book Review: Wow, this book is a great Sunday School book!
