Lining up our thinking and practices with the major Reformed confessions 
Description


"At a time when 'all that is solid melts in the air' and distinct colors fade to grey, R. Scott Clark reminds us of the loveliness, depth, and richness of Reformed Christianity. Not only TULIP, but a confession that bears fruit in both faith and practice, the account that you will find in this book may challenge, but its point is not to be missed." Michael Horton

"In a day when many follow charming personalities, fundamentalism, heterodoxy, individualism, and postmodernity and attempt to commandeer the Reformed tradition, Dr. Clark brings a much-needed corrective. He bases a Reformed identity in its understanding of the Scriptures through its historic confessions and creeds and a robust understanding of historic Reformed worship. Well researched, thoughtfully presented, and provocative, this work is a must-read for ministers, elders, and anyone who claims to be Reformed." J. V. Fesko

"Much of what passes as Reformed among our churches is not. As a class of churches that profess allegiance to Reformed theology, practice, and piety, we have drifted from our moorings. This book is written to facilitate change, specifically reformation according to God's Word as summarized in the Reformed confessions."

Lundberg, Karen
The research Clark put into this challenging book is remarkable! I so appreciated the way he wove so much historical data into a compelling question of "what really is the Reformed Confession anyway?" Even though it is a lengthy read, it is worth it, and even worthy of rereading again in order to comprehend the need to consider a person's knowledge of the Reformed traditions and how they should apply in a believer's life today. I especially appreciated the thoughts on my need in my own life to stay away from questioning God about things that go beyond the scope of what He desires for me to even understand this side of heaven, what he terms the "QIRC". I highly recommend a thoughtful consideration of this timely book, plus looking into the many resources listed therein.
