After Calvin: Studies in the Development of a Theological Tradition

by Richard A. Muller

Overview

This is a sequel to Richard Muller's The Unaccomodated Calvin OUP 2000). In the previous book, Muller attempted to situate Calvin's theological work in their historical context and to strip away various twentieth-century theological grids that have clouded our perceptions of the work of the Reformer. In the present book, Muller carries this approach forward, with the goal of overcoming a series of nineteenth- and twentieth-century theological frameworks characteristic of much of the scholarship on Reformed orthodoxy, or what might be called "Calvinism after Calvin."

Editorial Reviews

"As usual, Muller's scholarship is impeccable. This will be the standard woek on the scholarship of the two periods for some time." —Religious Studies Review

"The program argued for in After Calvin is sane, thorough, balanced, and careful....Muller's concern for things like context, genre, and understanding of relevant concepts surely brings intelligence and clarity to the treatment of the transition from the Reformation to the post-Reformation periods and exposes problems inherent in some earlier treatments."—Sixteenth Century Journal

"A valuable overview of the best work being done in the area of Protestant scholasticism to date."—Renaissance Quarterly

"[Muller's] mastery of these sources is on full display here. His powerful presentations make his voice now the dominant one in assessing the period 'after Calvin.'"—Theological Studies
