Description : Edgar traces the origins of the Reformed faith, explores its central truths, and probes its significance for the church’s calling in the world. While sensitive to challenges before the Reformed community – even its shortcomings – he suggests avenues for further understanding and new applications of a Reformed worldview to our age. Discloses the fundamentals of the Reformed outlook and makes a compelling case for them. For those who are Reformed and those who are not.
A winsome introduction to Reformed theology
• Commends the richness and beauty of a Reformed worldview yet is not uncritical of abuses
• Traces origins and implications for the church and its calling in the world
• Shows sensitivity to issues and challenges before the Church
This guided tour of the Reformed faith highlights the glory of God’s truth and grace. William Edgar takes us first to the historical roots of the Reformed tradition and then leads us through its major doctrines, including God, the trinity, revelation, creation, the fall, redemption, and the church. He gives special attention to the doctrines of salvation and makes suggestions for further understanding and application of a Reformed worldview to our age. An introduction to Reformed theology, Truth in All Its Glory can be used formally, for example, in a study group or membership class, or less formally, by friends who hope to introduce friends to the Reformed faith.
“Truth and All Its Glory is a prayer, and Edgar is never far from doxology as he leads us into the wonder of the God whose glory is at the heart of all true Reformation theology.”
—Timothy George
“Edgar never avoids difficult issues, nor does he sidestep controversy. This is a book to be read and reread with pleasure and profit. It is a ‘must’ for officer training classes, and a valuable textbook for anyone seeking to understand the modern Reformed church.”
—Robert M. Norris
