Liberating Reformed theology

Library Journal

This important theological study shows how reformed theologians, using their own tradition, can respond positively and critically to the challenges of black, feminist, and Latin American liberation theologies. De Gruchy believes that ``Reformed theology is best understood as a liberating theology that is catholic in its substance, evangelical in principle, and socially engaged and prophetic in its witness''. He attempts to respond to those who believe Calvinism is responsible for apartheid by liberating Calvinism from sectarianism. The book is basically an expansion of the Warfield Lectures at Princeton Theological Seminary in April 1990. Highly recommended for seminary and large academic and public libraries.
