| Summary: | Far too often there has been a failure to understand the complexity of continuity and discontinuity between early Reformers and later theologians from the self-identified Reformed tradition. Yet beyond the Calvin and the Calvinist debates lay the larger point that is often forgotten—from early on the Reformed tradition, including seventeenth-century Protestant scholastics, self-consciously believed itself to be Catholic. To use the language of Carl Trueman, such theologians understood themselves as ‘Reformed Catholic’, yet too often their catholicity is downplayed in the name of particularity., Since various misrepresentations and misunderstandings persist, Christopher Cleveland’s recent book, Thomism in John Owen, acts as a helpful corrective. |
