In this episode, Kenny briefly explains and outlines the history and essence of Reformed Theology (also known as Calvinism). This podcast episode is designed to be a foundational episode, laying the foundation for future episodes of the podcast that dive deeper into this topic.
Kenny argues that there were four types of Protestants in the 1500s: Lutherans, Anabaptists, Anglicans, and Reformed/Calvinists. To hold to “Reformed Theology” would be to affirm the theology of that fourth group.
Kenny gives us eight observations of that specific group:
- Unconditional election
- Covenantal theology
- Spiritual reality in participating in the sacraments
- Primary and secondary uses of the Law
- Christ-centered hermeneutic
- Pedobaptism
- Regulative Principle of Worship
- Particular application of theology to the public square
