Reformed Catholicity: The Promise of Retrieval for Theology and Biblical Interpretation

Can Christians and churches be both catholic and Reformed? Can they commit not only to the ultimate authority of apostolic Scripture but also to receiving this Bible within the context of the apostolic church?

Reformed Catholicity argues that to be Reformed means to go deeper into true catholicity rather than away from it. Michael Allen and Scott Swain offer a manifesto for a catholic and Reformed approach to dogmatics that seeks theological renewal through retrieval of the rich resources of the historic Christian tradition. The authors provide a survey of recent approaches toward theological retrieval and offer a renewed exploration of the doctrine of sola Scriptura.

The book includes a substantive afterword by J. Todd Billings and will appeal to professors and students of theology or Christian doctrine.
