The Structure of Sacred Doctrine in Calvin’s Theology

Having completed three collections of work, Dutch theologian Frans H Breukelman left the bulk of his work to be published by a later generation of students. Rinse H Reeling Brouwer takes up the task, giving us The Structure of Sacred Doctrine in Calvin’s Theology . Brouwer brings to life Breukelman’s extensive study of Calvin’s doctrine from the first form of his Institutes - the 1536 basic catechism - through all its incarnations to the 1559 final, definitive form, his explanation of the Creed. Finally, Brouwer focuses on Breukelman’s intriguing belief that the entire Reformed doctrinal tradition has proceeded along the line of only one of the possibilities in the structure of Calvin’s theology.
