English Hypothetical Universalism John Preston and the Softening of Reformed Theology
Jonathan D. Moore
- U.S.A. William B. Eerdmans Pub. Co. 2007
- 304tr. paperback, illustrations 24 cm
John Preston (1587-1628) stands as a key figure in the development of English Reformed orthodoxy in the courts of Elizabeth I and James VI. Often cited as a favorite of the English and American Puritans who came after him, he nevertheless stood as a bridge between the crown and the nonconformists. Jonathan D. Moore retrieves Preston from his traditional place as one of the ""Calvinists against Calvin,"" provides a convincing argument for Preston's unique hypothetical universalism, and calls into question common misperceptions about Reformed theology and Puritanism.
