If we are to do contemporary theology well, we need to listen carefully to past masters. In this profound yet accessible book, Oliver Crisp brings a number of key Reformed theologians into dialogue with contemporary philosophical and doctrinal concerns in a bid to further this strategy of 'theological retrieval'. The topics chosen for this book reflect some of the central concerns of Reformed theology: creation and providence; sin and salvation; and the Christian life.
