Theology
“In the perpetual struggle against historical amnesia, Rubén Rosario Rodríguez’s helpful and timely book goes beyond simply demonstrating how Calvin’s ‘critics got it wrong’ with their facile, reductionistic interpretations of the reformer’s thought. Calvin for the World also offers a corrective to the facile and reductionistic tendencies of many of Calvin’s friends. By setting Calvin’s theology in its original contexts and following oft-neglected lineages of reception, Rosario Rodríguez illuminates the experiences of dislocation and migration that stand behind Calvin’s vision for reform and unveils that vision’s liberative potential for theologies during and since the Reformation era. This book invites Reformed believers to consider unexpected ways that their tradition might speak to pressing contemporary issues and center new voices that resonate more deeply with Calvinism’s past than is often imagined.”
Bible Studies & Devotionals
“Students reading Calvin for the first time frequently express surprise (and delight) over two things they find in the reformer’s writings: breadth and warmth. With this superb collection, Don McKim has given us daily opportunities to learn from both the diversity of Calvin’s works beyond the Institutes and the heart of a pastor always concerned to make theology useful and edifying. These devotions will surprise and delight both new and not-so-new readers of Calvin!”
Theology
“With a rare combination of precision and warmth, Todd Billings, Suzanne McDonald, and Alberto La Rosa Rojas invite us to approach Reformed faith and practice as a dynamic, diverse tradition that continues to gather the church--as creature of the Word--around the Word of God in Christ as nourishment for weary pilgrims. Longtime devotees and the newly curious alike will find much in these pages that clarifies and commends Reformed theology's deep roots and expansive vision of God and God's commitment to us.”
History & Biography
“Hardly a marginal figure in his own day, Heinrich Bullinger will gain a wider hearing in ours thanks to this accessible introduction. McKim and West expertly curate the great Reformer’s words on various topics to bring his voice to life for new and diverse audiences. Students and church study groups alike will especially appreciate the discussion questions that invite deeper reflection on Bullinger’s pastoral and practical teaching on the Christian life.”
