The so-called ‘five points of Calvinism’ have occasioned countless debates among Christians — and no shortage of books from Christian publishers.
The gospel as taught by Calvin is yet another work to focus on these themes. Is there space for it on our bookshelves? Well, it is a very well written and eminently readable book, and has two concluding chapters which, by themselves, make it a book well worth reading. It is not a new book (although it is newly published by Banner). Dr. R.C. Reed was an American Presbyterian minister in the latter part of the 19th and early part of the 20th centuries. Although he makes various historical references along the way (some of which would be lost on most modern readers), he presents his material largely in a timeless manner.
