SynopsisThis is a sequel to Richard Muller's The Unaccommodated Calvin (OUP 2000). In the previous book, Muller attempted to situate Calvin's theological work in its 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'., This is a sequel to Richard Muller's The Unaccomodated Calvin OUP 2000).
