Oxford Handbook of Reformed Theology, The
Outline: The Oxford Handbook of Reformed Theology looks back to the resources of the past and surveys the present conversations that are vibrant and ongoing in Reformed theology. Firstly, the volume offers accounts of the great contexts of Reformed theology, the various relationships - ancient and modern - which it maintains and from which it derives. Recent research has shown the intricate ties between the patristic and medieval heritage of the church and the work of the Reformed movement in the sixteenth century. The past century has also witnessed an explosion of Reformed theology outside the Western world, prompting a need for attention not only to these global voices but also to the unique history of Reformed theology outside the Western world, prompting a need for attention not only to these global voices but also to the unique history of Reformed theology in the West. Secondly, the contributors assess some of the classic, representative texts of the Reformed tradition as well as noting their reception history. The Reformed movement is not dominated by a single figure, but it does contain a host of paradigmatic texts that demonstrate the vibrancy of Reformed thought on politics, piety, biblical commentary, dogmatic reflection, and social engagement. Thirdly, the volume turns to key themes in the present - doctrines and topics that continues to receive attention from Reformed theologians today. Contributors who are themselves making cutting-edge contributions to constructive theology reflect on the state of the field as well as offering their own proposals regarding a host of topics and themes.
