'Clear, calm and illuminating, this book offers a loving and
generous commendation of the classical Reformed tradition of
doctrine and spiritual practice.' - John Webster, FRSE,
Chair of Systematic Theology, Department of Divinity and Religious
Studies, University of Aberdeen, UK.

‘Michael Allen's account of Reformed theology admirably joins
clarity with precision, accessibility with gravity, and conviction
with charity. Especially strong is the book's thorough
attention to major Reformed figures like John Calvin and Karl Barth
and major statements of Reformed faith like the Heidelberg
Catechism and the Westminster Confession. While Allen does
not shy away from full treatment of differences among Reformed
theologians, his accent rests upon the distinctive ways in which
Reformed theology incorporates and interprets the historic
Christian message. The book is a splendid introduction for
those who are in Reformed churches and an inviting invitation to
dialogue with those who are not.' - Mark A. Noll, Francis A.
McAnaney Professor of History, University of Notre Dame, USA.

‘This is a splendid volume. Drawing deeply from the past
while engaging a wide variety of contemporary voices, Reformed
Theology nevertheless summarizes the richness of Reformed teaching
with clarity and insight. Allen focuses on the main issues
and beneath the superb brevity lies a deep reservoir of research.'
- Michael Horton, J. Gresham Machen Professor of Theology,
Westminster Seminary California, USA.
