Calvin and English Calvinism to 1649 (Oxford theological monographs)

To this groundbreaking work, originally published by the Oxford University Press in the 1980s, the author has added a new preface and two appendices, one of which consists of extracts from Calvin's Commentaries. The author demonstrates that the English ""Puritans,"" who he calls ""experimental predestinarians,"" were followers of John Calvin's successor in Geneva, Theodore Beza, and not of Calvin himself. R. T. Kendall maintains that what became known as English Calvinism was largely the thought of Beza, not Calvin. His book is an important clarification of Calvin's position in relation to those who have been regarded as his followers. ""An epoch-making book!"" --Christianity Today ""I recommend Calvin and English Calvinism far and wide. It opened my eyes to who Calvin really was. I learned Calvin was not a Calvinist!"" --Luis Palau ""Dr. Kendall's exciting study . . . is a major step forward in the reappraisal of Puritanism . . . no student in the Puritan field can excuse himself from reckoning with this important contribution."" --J. I. Packer ""This is an important work of impressive scholarship which makes a considerable contribution to the history of ideas in England as well as to Reformed theology. In it Dr. Kendall penetrates through distorting layers of rigid Calvinism to reveal the authentic Calvin."" --T. F. Torrance ""An erudite and distinguished contribution."" --Church Times ""A breakthrough for those who reject particular redemption yet hold to the doctrines of grace. Read it and reap!"" --O. S. Hawkins Born in Ashland, Kentucky, R. T. Kendall became the Minister of Westminster Chapel, London in 1977 after gaining a DPhil at Oxford University. Currently he is President of R. T. Ministries. Married with two children, he is the author of several books including God Meant It for Good, a study of the life of Joseph, Does Jesus Care and Believing God.

Review\n'My good friend R. T. Kendall delivers a clear and compelling call to the church for repentance and righteousness that is desperately needed. To a generation stumbling in the darkness, Prophetic Integrity is biblical light from a pastor and scholar's heart which addresses the nature of God and how we can know and trust him. Read this book and discover a path forward to unite and ignite Christians and churches as we seek to fulfill the mission of Christ until he comes.' -- Dr. Jack Graham, pastor, Prestonwood Baptist Church, Plano, Texas\n'Dr. Kendall has penned a very insightful treatise on the biblical prophetic; detailing its highest and best use. His decades-long experience with its proper deployment is invaluable to the discussion regarding how we position ourselves to hear God speak today. A necessary read.' -- Brett Fuller, pastor, Grace Covenant Church, Chantilly, Virginia, chaplain, Washington Commanders\n'One of the final signs of impending judgment on a nation is the rise of false prophetic voices claiming to speak for God. Their words often contradict Scripture, while at the same time offering a non-existent future of uninterrupted bliss. Do we have the courage to face this issue in our times? Can we correct our present course? Is there hope for today's prophetic movement? R. T. Kendall's book on our present condition offers hope. Yet it is hope based on a true self-evaluation and a humility of heart. The true prophet is not afraid of this. In fact, he or she will welcome the correction. His desire is to honor Christ, at all costs. The false will always be with us. But the true prophetic voices will, as has always been the case throughout biblical history, put their babbling to shame.' -- Carter Conlon, former pastor, Times Square Church, New York City\n'R. T. Kendall has done it again! Yes, in his new book Prophetic Integrity he has managed to capture the twenty-first century's outlook about the wonderful gifts of the Holy Spirit, especially 'Prophecy.' I can say without hesitation, 'Be open to reading this book with an open mind and allow yourself the opportunity to learn whatever the Lord wants you to learn.' Pride often leads to self-righteousness and stops us from learning more about our loving, merciful, and wonderful God. R. T. expounds the truths of the Word of God and expresses the necessity of allowing the gifts of the Holy Spirit to flow together with integrity while being openly transparent in all his teaching. I love the way he weaves questions into every chapter that will allow you time to digest this very timely topic. Bottom line, do you want to experience God 100%? Prophetic Integrity will give you the keys to achieving this. What an informative, timely book at this critical period in history. It will change your thinking, challenge your views, and will definitely give you much to chew on and digest!' -- Marilyn Hickey, founder and president of Marilyn Hickey Ministries\n'In the latter part of the previous century and in the waxing years of the twenty-first, I cannot imagine a more qualified voice than that of Rev. Dr. R. T. Kendall to speak to the subject of prophetic integrity. From televangelists to conventions, from media preachers to conventions, and from cessationists to toll-free 800 numbers where you can get a personal prophecy on the spot, there is pervasive and embedded misinformation about biblical prophecy. With an Oxford doctorate, massive experience in a world pulpit at Westminster Chapel, and some of the most published material from a pastor/theologian of this era, no one is more qualified to speak to this issue than Rev. Dr. Kendall--R. T. to me, a great friend and encourager. This will clarify your thinking, give fresh impetus to genuine prophecy, and produce freedom in your church.' -- Joel C. Gregory, professor of preaching, holder of the George W. Truett Endowed Chair of Preaching and Evangelism, director of the Kyle Lake Center for Effective Preaching, Baylor University'

R.T. Kendall believes that all Christians are called to tithe. What is more, he is convinced that the church would be revitalized and the world transformed if all Christians did begin to tithe. Dr. Kendall combines this bold claim with the biblical, theological, and practical implications of tithing. Tithing is sometimes regarded as threatening, but it emerges in this book as both challenging and inspiring. Numerous exciting testimonies are told, all demonstrating in individual lives the principle that underlies tithing. “You cannot outgive the Lord.”
