Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What does the church need to hear today? As many have said, the church must always be reforming. It must continually move closer to a truer, more faithful expression of the gospel. The risen Christ’s powerful letters to the seven churches in Revelation are a guide to just that. Based on John MacArthur’s exposition of these letters, Christ’s Call to Reform the Church is a plea to the modern church to heed these divine warnings, to reform before it succumbs to the kinds of compromise and error that invite God’s judgment. Christ’s Call to Reform the Church admonishes the church today to learn from the mistakes God’s people have made in the past, rather than commit them again. The Word of God has many benefits, one of which is that it reveals our blind spots. That's what this book does—it shines a light on problems we didn't know we had. May it be embraced by Christians everywhere, spurring them toward the God-honoring, grace-driven work of continued reformation.

Book excerpt: "In the sixteenth century, no one denied that the church had problems. It was beset by ignorance, corruption, and greed among its clergy and by moral laxity, superstition, and doctrinal confusion among its laity. The time was ripe for change. But what kind? And how was such change to occur? The Protestant Reformers initially strove to reform the church from within. But they soon concluded that its leaders and structures made impossible the kind of reforms that were necessary. As a result, they broke away and formed new churches, but they did not do so lightly. In The Necessity of Reforming the Church, John Calvin offers a full-throated defense of the Reformation. Writing to Emperor Charles V, he explains how the church had drifted from the teachings of Christ in several areas, including right worship, the way of salvation, the sacraments, and the government of the church. In so doing, he issues a call for the church to be continually reformed according to the Word of God. This new translation by Casey Carmichael, with introductory material by W. Robert Godfrey, promises to make this important work accessible to a new generation. Also included is Calvin's A Reply to Cardinal Sadoleto"--

Download or read book Calvin and the Reformed Tradition written by Richard A. Muller and published by Baker Books. This book was released on 2012-11-15 with total page 454 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Richard Muller, a world-class scholar of the Reformation era, examines the relationship of Calvin's theology to the Reformed tradition, indicating Calvin's place in the tradition as one of several significant second-generation formulators. Muller argues that the Reformed tradition is a diverse and variegated movement not suitably described either as founded solely on the thought of John Calvin or as a reaction to or deviation from Calvin, thereby setting aside the old "Calvin and the Calvinists" approach in favor of a more integral and representative perspective. Muller offers historical corrective and nuance on topics of current interest in Reformed theology, such as limited atonement/universalism, union with Christ, and the order of salvation.
