Reformational Theology: A New Paradigm for Doing Dogmatics

Portada
Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing, 1992 - 584 páginas
Following the Biblical story line of creation, fall-redemption-consummation, Spykman's "new paradigm" systematics represents a notable revision of the traditional loci method--Spykman has reordered the basic Christian dogmas in a bold attempt to overcome the rationalist-scholastic influences inherent in the older method.
