DOWNLOAD EBOOK"Acts of the Council of Trent with the Antidote" by John Calvin is a critique of the Council of Trent, a significant 16th-century ecumenical council of the Roman Catholic Church. Calvin, a central figure in the Reformation, presents a vigorous theological argument against the Council's decrees and canons, asserting that they do not align with scriptural teachings and principles of Christian faith. He meticulously dissects the proceedings and decisions of the Council, arguing that they were influenced more by political and personal interests than by genuine spiritual guidance or biblical truth. Calvin's work is notable for its rigorous analysis and its foundational role in Reformed theology. He challenges the authority of the Council by advocating for the supremacy of the Scriptures in guiding Christian doctrine and practice. By doing so, Calvin reinforces the Reformation's core tenets, including the doctrine of sola scriptura (Scripture alone) and the priesthood of all believers, emphasizing a return to the original and unadulterated teachings of Christianity as presented in the Bible.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK"This book is a study of the historical development and impact of John Calvin's doctrine of baptismal efficacy. The primary questions it addresses are (1) whether Calvin taught an "instrumental" doctrine of baptism, according to which the external sign of the sacrament serves as a means or instrument to convey the spiritual realities it signifies, and (2) whether Calvin's teaching on baptismal efficacy remained constant throughout his lifetime or underwent significant change. Secondarily, the work also examines whether such spiritual blessings, in Calvin's view, are conferred only in adult (believer) baptism or also in the baptism of infants, and what impact Calvin's doctrine of baptismal efficacy had on the Reformed confessional tradition that followed him. The book examines all of Calvin's writings on baptism-his Institutes, commentaries on Scripture, catechisms, polemical writings, and consensus documents-chronologically through five stages of his life and then analyzes the doctrine of baptismal efficacy in eight of the major Reformed confessions and catechisms from the age of confessional codification. It concludes that Calvin did indeed hold to an instrumental view of baptism; that this doctrine underwent change and development over the course of his life but not to the extent that some in the past have suggested; that his view of the efficacy of infant baptism was consistent with his doctrine of baptism in general; and that versions of Calvin's teaching can be found in many, though not all, of the major Reformed confessional documents of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries"--

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe first of a two-volume project delving into the doctrine of justification. Michael Horton seeks not simply to recover a clear message of its role in modern Reformed theology, but also to bring a fresh discovery of the gospel in a time when contemporary debates around justification have reignited. The doctrine of justification stands at the center of our systematic reflection on the meaning of salvation and grace as well as our piety, mission, and life together. And yet, within mainline Protestant and evangelical theology, it's often taken for granted or left to gather dust in favor of modern concerns and self-renewal. Volume 1 is an exercise in historical theology, exploring the doctrine of justification from the patristic era to the Reformation. This book: Provides a map for contemporary discussions of justification, identifying and engaging principal sources: Origen, Chrysostom, Augustine, Thomas Aquinas, John Duns Scotus, William of Ockham, Gabriel Biel, and the magisterial reformers. Studies the transformations of the doctrine through Aquinas, Scotus and the nominalists leading up to the era of the Reformation and the Council of Trent. Concludes by examining the hermeneutical and theological significance of the Reformers' understanding of the law and the gospel and the resultant covenantal scheme that became formative in Reformed theology. Engaging and thorough, Justification will not only reenergize the reader—whether Protestant or Catholic—with a passion for understanding this essential and long-running doctrinal conversation, but also challenge anyone to engage critically with the history of the Church and the heart of the gospel.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from Tracts, Vol. 3: Containing Antidote to the Council of Trent: German Interim With Refutation: True Method of Reforming the Church: Sinfulness of Outward Conformity to Romish Rites: Psychopannychia; Or the Soul's Imaginary Sleep Between Death and Judgment Again, in regard to original sin, the doctrine of the Tridentine Canon, though artfully endeavouring to conceal its true character, is proved to be Pelagianism under a very flimsy disguise. In the important act of justification man is made to divide with his Maker, and apparently carries off the larger share. And worse than all, the great sacri fice which Christ offered on the cross, and then perfected once for all, is deliberately travestied; and not only exhibited under a form in which none of its features can be recognised, but made the pretext for innumerable acts of Idolatry Idolatry not less gross, and far less excusable, than that which the darkest abodes of heathenism can furnish.
