"In the sixteenth century, no one denied that the church had problems. It was beset by ignorance, corruption, and greed among its clergy and by moral laxity, superstition, and doctrinal confusion among its laity. The time was ripe for change. But what kind? And how was such change to occur? The Protestant Reformers initially strove to reform the church from within. But they soon concluded that its leaders and structures made impossible the kind of reforms that were necessary. As a result, they broke away and formed new churches, but they did not do so lightly. In The Necessity of Reforming the Church, John Calvin offers a full-throated defense of the Reformation. Writing to Emperor Charles V, he explains how the church had drifted from the teachings of Christ in several areas, including right worship, the way of salvation, the sacraments, and the government of the church. In so doing, he issues a call for the church to be continually reformed according to the Word of God. This new translation by Casey Carmichael, with introductory material by W. Robert Godfrey, promises to make this important work accessible to a new generation. Also included is Calvin's A Reply to Cardinal Sadoleto"--

Not illustrated. 1843 edition. Excerpt: ... not attempted any thing rashly, any thing alien from our duty; have, in fine, done nothing until compelled by the highest necessity. To enable me to prove this, it is necessary to attend to the matters in dispute. We maintain, then, that atthe commencement, when God raised up Luther and others, who held forth a torch to light us into the way of salvation, and who, by their ministry, founded and reared our churches, those heads of doctrine in which the truth of our religion, those in which the pure and legitimate worship of God, and those in which the salvation of men are comprehended, were in a great measure obsolete. We maintain that the use of the sacraments was in many ways vitiated and polluted. And we maintain that the government of the Church was converted into a species of foul and insufferable tyranny. But, perhaps these averments have not force enough to move certain individuals until they are better explained. This, therefore, I will do, not as the subject demands, but as far as my ability will permit. Here, however, I have no intention to review and discuss all our controversies; that would require a long discourse, and this is not the place for it. I wish only to show how just and necessary the causes which forced upon us the changes for which we are blamed. To accomplish this, I must take up together the three following points. First, I must briefly enumerate the evils which compelled us to seek for remedies. Secondly, I must show that the particular remedies which our Reformers employed were apt and salutary. Thirdly, I must make it plain that we were not at liberty any longer to delay putting forth our hand, seeing that the matter demanded instant amendment. The first point, as I merely advert to it for the purpose of...

What does the church need to hear today? As many have said, the church must always be reforming. It must continually move closer to a truer, more faithful expression of the gospel. The risen Christ’s powerful letters to the seven churches in Revelation are a guide to just that. Based on John MacArthur’s exposition of these letters, Christ’s Call to Reform the Church is a plea to the modern church to heed these divine warnings, to reform before it succumbs to the kinds of compromise and error that invite God’s judgment. Christ’s Call to Reform the Church admonishes the church today to learn from the mistakes God’s people have made in the past, rather than commit them again. The Word of God has many benefits, one of which is that it reveals our blind spots. That's what this book does—it shines a light on problems we didn't know we had. May it be embraced by Christians everywhere, spurring them toward the God-honoring, grace-driven work of continued reformation.

Excerpt from The Necessity of Reforming the Church: Presented to the Imperial Diet at Spires, A. D. 1544 The Letter, which does not appear to have been previously translated into English, is curious and valuable. Cal vin describes it as a treasure, and his Remarks, though perhaps harsher than could he wished, are full of learn ing and solid argument, and effectually demolish the arrogant pretensions of the Romish see. That their pungency was not altogether thrown away, appears from the fact, that Pallavicini, in his history of the council of Trent, while describing them as a compound of fire and brimstone, deems it necessary to warn Roman Catholics against the spe ciousness of an argument contained in them.

Richard Muller, a world-class scholar of the Reformation era, examines the relationship of Calvin's theology to the Reformed tradition, indicating Calvin's place in the tradition as one of several significant second-generation formulators. Muller argues that the Reformed tradition is a diverse and variegated movement not suitably described either as founded solely on the thought of John Calvin or as a reaction to or deviation from Calvin, thereby setting aside the old "Calvin and the Calvinists" approach in favor of a more integral and representative perspective. Muller offers historical corrective and nuance on topics of current interest in Reformed theology, such as limited atonement/universalism, union with Christ, and the order of salvation.

Experiencing the Truth communicates the need of a vibrant, experiential, Reformed Christianity among African-Americans and all believers. How does a believer choose a church to attend? Sadly too many Christians search for churches that serve them and meet their perceived needs. Instead they should prefer places where God is exalted and biblical truth and Christian doctrine are proclaimed. Such churches are essential if Christians are to understand what God is doing and what he calls His people to be. Experiencing the Truth presents these truths not simply to African-American churches, but also to the whole church today. Anthony Carter, Michael Leach, and Ken Jones clearly present the need for a vibrant, experiential, Reformed Christianity among African-Americans. These authors lay out the biblical basis for choosing and attending a church, and they demonstrate how the historic Reformed expression has been the most biblically accurate and experientially consistent expression of Christianity.
