Introducing Reformation Theology with Crossway (Matthew Barrett)

· June 28, 2016

9781433543289I am very pleased to introduce a new volume with Crossway that I’ve been privileged to edit: Reformation Theology: A Systematic Summary. As you can tell from the title, this volume presents the theology of the Reformers in a systematic way. In light of the 500th anniversary (nearly upon us), this book is designed to help churchgoers, pastors, and students understand Reformation theology better.

Michael Horton has written the Foreword and it’s been a joy to work with an impressive line up of contributions. You can now pre-order the book on Amazon and Crossway’s website. The book will release in March, 2017.

Below is the book’s description and Table of Contents:

Far too often, the Protestant Reformation is seen as a bygone and irrelevant movement in church history. Some of the best theologians and historians of today, including Michael Reeves, Gerald Bray, Graham A. Cole, Carl R. Trueman, and many others, have collaborated to counter this view, showing how Reformation theology is not only still relevant but actually essential—even five hundred years later. Offering readers accessible summaries of a host of important doctrinal issues discussed and debated by the Reformers, this comprehensive book includes entries on topics such as biblical authority, the Trinity, the attributes of God, predestination, union with Christ, justification by faith, the church, the sacraments, and more. Perfect for both individual and classroom use, this volume demonstrates that Reformation theology—far from being irrelevant—is more crucial to the vitality of the church than ever.
