A Warm & Winsome Presentation of the Reformed Tradition

Posted by Zachary Groff on 1st May 2023

As the fourth installment in P&R Publishing’s Blessings of the Faith series, Jonathan Master’s Reformed Theology presents “a fairly mainstream, middle-of-the road definition” of the Reformed theological tradition (p. 95). Master writes with verve and clarity, and his phrasing is memorable at more than a few points. This book would be excellent as a go-to handout book for Reformed church visitors, those who are new to (or considering) Reformed theology, or as a base text for a new members class in a Reformed church.

In the Introduction, Master lays out the two big claims of the book: theology matters and Reformed theology in particular is a blessing. What follows are four brief chapters treating the substance of Reformed theology and the blessings of Reformed theology. Matching the other three volumes in this series, this book includes two appendices with questions and answers and recommended further reading.

In presenting Reformed theology as a blessing to Bible-believing, Christ-loving, Evangelical Christians, Jonathan Master turns the tables on all-too-common tropes about the alleged weaknesses of the Reformed tradition. He effectively shows in this little book that “any areas that at first glance may appear to be liabilities are actually assets” (p. 81). Indeed, readers will come away from this book with a new or renewed appreciation for the history and theological emphases of Reformed theology. This volume is a fine addition to what is shaping up to be a great series of pointed introductions to the basics – and blessings – of the Christian Faith as understood and proclaimed by Reformed and Presbyterian Churches around the world.
