| Summary: | Stephen J. Grabill's book is in essence a high-level historical argument for the rediscovery and rehabilitation of natural law, and the related doctrinal concepts of natural revelation and natural theology, in Reformed dogmatics. Through examining a range of major writers in the period of Reformed confessional orthodoxy—Calvin, Vermigli, Althusius, Zanchi, and Francis Turretin—he argues that ‘the Reformed tradition affirmed that it was possible for people's intellect to know the good even if, without divine assistance, it was impossible for their will to be liberated from the bondage of sin to act on it’. |
