    About this ebook

    The Development of Reformed Theology” is an informative, religious article, almost 6,500 words, that chronicles the leaders and history of the reformed theology movement. It outlines the basic tenants as found in the Calvinistic T.U.L.I.P concept of what it means to be reformed. For example, the “T” stands for “total depravity,” and “U” represents “unconditional election.” The “L” symbolizes “limited atonement”, while the “I” is for “irresistible grace.” Finally, “P” stands for the fifth tenant, which is “perseverance of the saints.” What’s more, “The Development of Reformed Theology” shows how Arminianism is different from the other primary types or Protestant theology. Once you’ve read this book, you’ll have a better understanding of what it means to be a Reformed Christian.

      Introduction

      This article is written from an objective standpoint, rather than heavily endorsing one type of theology over another. I do adhere to some of the tenets of the Reformed faith, but not sure about all five points of this theology. Let’s just say I’m still searching.
