Calvin and the Reformed Tradition

Theology

“Once again, Muller has provided us with a sophisticated and provocative analysis of the Reformed tradition. He teaches us that this tradition stemmed from multiple backgrounds, relied on various predecessors and sources, and must be understood in terms of changing circumstances. This book is indispensable for understanding the development of the theology of the Reformed tradition.”

Divine Will and Human Choice

Theology

“Once again Richard Muller has provided us with an extremely careful and insightful analysis on the development of Reformed theology. He has approached the topics of freedom and necessity in Reformed thought from his extremely knowledgeable background of ancient philosophy and medieval theology. In so doing he has provided a trajectory that demonstrates that Reformed thought cannot be understood in isolation from the Western tradition as a whole. This is a superb study, and there is much to learn from this volume.”

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“The task of biblical interpretation has increasingly reached beyond the historical-critical method in an attempt to allow the Bible to become 'present' in an enriching way to modern readers. The history of the interpretation of Scripture, or reception history, has become an important element in this task. Andrew Lewis shows that the ongoing 'dialogue' with past intepreters is crucial for reading the ever-enigmatic Book of Job. In choosing the story of Job, the author tackles a book that has fascinated interpreters throughout its history because the questions it raises have remained central to both the Jewish and Christian traditions. Concentrating on Kierkegaard, Vischer, and Barth, Lewis provides us with an enlightening and significant strand of Joban interpretation, one that continues to challenge us today.”
