Outstanding treatise on this subject
Robert L. Dabney (1820-1898) was once one of the most respected theologians in the United States. He has fallen from grace because he was a Confederate and actively defended the Confederacy after the war. Some do not forgive him for that but as a theologian and Biblical expositor he was one of the best of his age. This short, clear and logical history and defense of the Reformed Faith is highly recommended. Dabney is very helpful and this book is well worth your consideration. Many have treated this topic but few have done as well as Dr. Dabney.
