Three Tiers of Reformed Theology Reading List // Are You Reformed? Part 2

I get asked frequently, am I reformed? Is this author reformed? Or, is this book reformed? So I made a video about what that means, and this is part 2! In this video I posted the notes to my first video, summarize the three tiers, and have put together a book list for those who want to dive deeper into each one of the three tiers I shared in part 1.
If you have questions or insights about the topics covered in this video or have recommendations for future videos let me know in the comments.

I love Creeds, Confessions & Catechisms: A Reader's Edition! But the most comprehensive that I know about is We Believe: Creeds, Catechisms & Confessions of Faith. Published by Ligonier Ministries, it has 20 (that's twenty) and it does give a little background on each. And the App: Reformed Companion. Not the CCC themselves but a little book: Know the Creeds & Councils.

Would much more strongly recommend James Renihan's To the Judicious and Impartial Reader as an exposition of the 1689. He also has an exposition of the 1644, titled: For the Vindication of Truth. Also, if you want to understand 1689 Federalism as a Theological System, I would suggest Sam Renihan's: The Mystery of Christ

Right there in the middle with you, brother. Trying to dig into church history and specific aspects of theology right now to really solidify my beliefs outside of the essentials. Do you like Concise Theology by J.I. Packer? I very much appreciate how it is broken down into 3 parts and subtopics within those parts. Very easy to digest to get a broad understanding of viewpoints.

Thanks Austin for the comment. I too love Concise Theology by Packer. Such a great resource!

Robert Shaw’s The Reformed Faith is by far the best exposition of the Westminster Confession. Sproul and Dixhorn, being modern guys, leave a lot out that is there in the confession. Shaw is better in my opinion. Look for it at Reformation Heritage Books.

Thanks for uploading. "Five Points" by John Piper is also a good resource for an introductory study of the Doctrines of Grace 🙂
