Philip Benedict is William Prescott and Annie McClelland Smith Professor of History and Religion at Brown University.
“This is a rare and great achievement: a broad survey text that is
at once a gripping narrative and a fresh interpretation of the
subject, as masterful with the small details as with the big
picture. It supersedes all of its precursors.”—Carlos Eire, Yale
University
"[This book] is a thoughtful, learned, and lucid synthesis of
Calvinism's beginnings, development, successes, and limits. . . .
To say that Benedict succeeds in these goals is an understatement;
this is an important book of lasting value. Some of the
bibliographic material in the endnotes indicates the depth and
brilliance of his work. Highly recommended. All levels."—Choice
