“The contributions assembled in this volume are unsurpassed in breadth and depth. In addressing key issues and central questions, today's leading Reformed theologians provide an indispensable resource not only for Reformed theology but also for other Christian traditions. These contributions uniquely combine theological retrieval with a creative sensibility to the tasks facing the churches and theology today, thereby illuminating the tradition in its relevance for present and future concerns. Highly recommended for anyone seriously reflecting on the significance of Christian faith in our diverse contemporary world.”
“This volume demonstrates the vitality and comprehensiveness of the theological task when pursued intentionally from within a particular tradition. Clearly, Reformed theology has a promising and productive future.”
“An ambitious and urgent project. In gathering together the authors and perspectives included in this volume, the editors have given us a representative presentation of the continuing viability of the Reformed tradition. I predict that the appearance of this volume will begin a process of reconstituting the Reformed identity in situations where it has been reduced to a whisper, of establishing a community of Reformed scholarship on a global scale, and of exploring new avenues of ecumenical conversation and relationships.”
“A smorgasbord of veritable delicacies prepared by some of the best theological chefs in the Reformed tradition.”
