Post-Reformation Reformed Dogmatics #1-4
Post-Reformation Reformed Dogmatics (4 vol Set): The Rise and Development of Reformed Orthodoxy, ca. 1520 to ca. 1725
Post-Reformation Reformed Dogmatics examines how specific doctrines of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries developed and their influence in shaping what we recognize today as the Protestant church. Richard Muller has undertaken this historical study to explain the development of the doctrine of this important period of church history and its ongoing relevance for the church.
These four volumes, two of which are available for the first time, examine theological preliminaries, Scripture as the foundation of theology, God's existence, attributes, and nature, and the Trinity. They comprise a significant contribution to scholarship and are essential reading for serious students of the Reformation.

A wonderful resource for understanding the development of doctrine in protestant West since the time of the reformation. Muller is no on to quibble with, even when you disagree with him - he always does his homework. A tremendous wealth of information. One of the most valuable protestant resources out there. Too scholastic - yes, but that's the point... This tradition is (too) scholastic. It is NOT easy reading... it takes time, it is deep, abstract and ethereal - and fraught with many perils - but at least you can see how things actually developed AND *why*. Worth the money, worth the space and worth your time in reading and studying this set.
