Being Reformed, On : Distinctive Characteristics and Common Misunderstandings
Overview: This book, the author's readable, entertaining, and immensely informative introduction to the major themes of Reformed Christianity, answers these questions. He examines the most common misunderstandings of what it means to be Reformed - misunderstandings that the author encountered in teaching and pastoral work. He strips away such adjectives as "rationalistic", "exclusive", and "legalistic" to uncover what is distinctive and beautiful about the Reformed understanding of the relationship between God and man. Dr. Hesselink concedes that each misunderstanding contains a degree of truth; Reformed Christians must always strive to live up to the majestic call of their tradition. Yet in essence that tradition represents a distinctive middle way between liberalism and fundamentalism - a tradition founded on the determination to take Scripture seriously. This book points the way for Reformed Christians who have grown up in the tradition and for those who are new to it. It is a book which no only instructs, but elicits a renewed enthusiasm for being Reformed.
