| Summary: | Jonathan Moore's book is a fine example of the new breed of scholarship on Reformed orthodoxy, offering a more balanced and nuanced account of this theological tradition than earlier, twentieth-century studies. Building on other recent scholarship, Moore breaks apart the simplified dichotomy of Calvinists and Arminians in early Stuart England, by showing the diversity of opinion among Calvinist divines. In particular, he examines the rise of a more ‘moderate’ school of Reformed theology in the shape of the hypothetical universalism of John Preston, James Ussher, and John Davenant. |
