Abstract:
Abstract The Reformed Church in America is wrestling with an interesting question in ecclesiology and church order: is there a place within the church for so-called non-geographic classes. Non-geographic classes are classes which are not formed around a geographic regional principal, but by agreement in theological perspective or a peculiar way that a congregation is shaped. The question central to this article is then: is there a place in Reformed churches for non-geographical classes? In answering this question, the following will be considered: a similar proposal from the Gereformeerde Bond

Abstract:
AbstractThis article examines how the consideration of adoption of the Belhar Confession by the Reformed Church in America surfaces issues concerning the nature of confession. Reflection on how confessions have in fact been used in the Reformed church show that they have functioned as markers of identity and as a way of shaping a religious way of being. The article proceeds to argue that by assessing to whom a confession is addressed, three uses become apparent: confession is addressed to the church as a hermeneutic through which it reads scripture; addressed to the world as a truth that must

It considers the challenge to historic Reformed church polity posed by the ecclesiology of the Doleantie, a secession from the Nederlandse Hervormde Kerk (NHK) in 1886 under the leadership of Abraham Kuyper.

Abstract:
A new ecumenical confession of faithRecently theologians, church leaders and even churches from all over the world expressed the desirability of a new confession of faith, preferably an ecumenical confession. The Reformed Church in America proposed a new confession with their Song of Hope. They still maintain large parts of their 16th century reformed confessions but the following motives played a role in their desire for a new confession:• The necessity to correct the existing, 'old' confessions in the light of modem scientific Bible-research, e g on the doctrine of predestination.• The need

This article explores the reception of the European Protestant Reformation in the British Atlantic using the early Bermudan Church as a case study. It offers an alternative model for Puritan colonisation which was driven by a reformed vision for godly globalisation and evangelisation rather than flight from persecution in England. By shedding light on ecclesiastical ties between the reformed Churches on the continent and the British Atlantic, it extends the ideological foundations for the establishment of British America beyond the theories of empire and economic opportunism usually addressed

Abstract:
Abstract When Calvinism—the Reformed tradition of Protestant Christianity— comes up for discussion today, one will probably hear reference to sin (total depravity) and/or God’s sovereignty (predestination). For example, part of the explanation offered for America’s constitutionally limited, checked, and balanced government is the need to restrain human wickedness that is so easily and frequently expressed when power is concentrated and not held to account. And one influential explanation of the work ethic and the remarkable economic achievements of people in countries influenced by Calvinism is the doctrine of predestination (God’s foreordination of the elect to salvation). Max Weber (1864–1920) made the latter argument as follows: Calvinism is chiefly responsible for producing the modern entrepreneur—the “worldly ascetic.” How so? “The Calvinist had no priest to stand between him and God or to give him the sacraments that would ensure his salvation,” writes W. Fred Graham, summarizing Weber’s thesis. Thus, the Calvinist could “either assume that he was predestined to glory and battle subsequent doubts to the contrary. Or, says Weber, he could look for evidences of God’s blessing in his worldly calling to prove that God’s attitude toward him was gracious. The result was a human being who strove unremittingly to glorify God in his daily toil.”

Abstract:
Chapter 3 identifies and details the other tribes of American Evangelicalism against which the Reformed resurgence is said to be resurging. These are mainstream American Evangelicalism, neo-Anabaptist Evangelicalism, and progressive or Emergent Evangelicalism. Next, this chapter clarifies a possible confusion about how these three alternatives and the New Calvinism relate to the Emerging Church, and then it briefly acknowledges some intermixing and blurring between these four tribes. The latter half of the chapter employs the limited data available to address these tribes’ comparative sizes and sociological strengths. The findings suggest that the New Calvinism enjoys strength and prominence disproportionate to its numerical following and sets the stage for an explanatory model of institutional religious strength that relies more on the strategic and conflictual actions of religious leaders to gain symbolic power in and over their field than on simple additive growth.

Abstract The preceding chapters have presented distinctive features of major theological traditions of Western Christianity. The book covers four classical traditions—Catholic, Lutheran, Reformed, and Anabaptist,1 along with three other influential perspectives: Anglicanism, Pentecostalism, and evangelicalism. The latter two movements have become the fastest growing Christian churches in recent decades, accounting for most of the growth of Christianity in Africa, Asia, and Latin America. Although estimates of the number of Christians at the beginning of the new millennium vary considerably, we can assume that almost two billion persons, or nearly a third of the world’s population, considers itself part of Western Christian churches.
