Going Beyond the Five Points: Pursuing a More Comprehensive Reformation

Excellent presentation on Reformed Theology! Goes a long way in demonstrating that Reformed Theology is based on God’s Truth in the Bible and so much more than TULIP.

This is a great book. I have absolutely no reservations or apprehension about endorsing the content. This is a much needed book, especially in a day and age when there are so many teachers who are Calvinists, and yet are not Reformed. This book serves as an excellent resource for someone who affirms Calvinism, but wants to go deeper into the theology of the Reformation.The main reason I'm writing a review is for anyone who might be buying the Kindle edition and hopes to listen to it through Text-to-Speech. Unfortunately, for those who are vision-impaired, the footnotes on the Kindle edition aren't placed at the end of the book, and thus, you'll at times need to listen to a few minutes of notes and citations that will distract you from the content of the book. This is unfortunate, and it's my hope that the editor/publisher will see this review and change the formatting for Kindle so that it's more accessible for those who are vision-impaired.

This is a book for our time, when there is a great need for the multitudes of Christians who are returning to the Reformation doctrines of salvation to understand that "Reformed" involves every aspect of our spiritual life, and is not just a matter of adding the 5 points to an existing wonky structure. These men did a great job. My only con is that in places, the writing style is a little heavy-going for someone unused to reading serious material. Nevertheless, I would encourage any Christian to make the effort to understand what is being said, because the message is so important.

Have you ever been so tremendously blessed by certain Bible truths that you wanted to share them withothers? Have you ever encountered a teaching from Scripture that completely changed your understanding ofGod and the Bible in a profoundly positive way? Perhaps this is what happened when you first came to embracethe doctrines of grace, also known as the five points of Calvinism. At one time your views of salvation weresomewhat shallow, but then God graciously opened your eyes. You came to a deeper understanding of theBible’s teaching on how a sinner truly becomes saved, and you told others about it. You came to see that,“salvation is of the Lord” (Jon. 1:9) and you greatly rejoiced!

A great work by the authors and editor to produce a book which teaches and emulates the historical and orthodox legacy of the church. This volume has provided me with assurance and clarity on previous convictions that were unsure. This is a helpful work for anyone who wants to understand the Scriptures more and see how they should reflect in belief and practice

This book was a great theological and biblical exposition of the greater expanse of Reformed theology beyond the 5 points of Calvinism.Unfortunately, there are some typos and a fix would be appreciated.

An absolute must-read for every Confessional Reformed Credo-baptist, Pastor, Church-member and reformed Church-seeker to discover and preserve our historical continuity.

I liked this book very much, it explained a lot of facts I did not know, or understand. I feel my knowledge and understanding are greatly improved. I wish every church member would take time to read.

A great collection of essays relating to application of reformed theology throughout the life of the Christian and the organization of Christ's church.
