In this episode, Kenny briefly explains and outlines the history and essence of Reformed Theology (also known as Calvinism). This podcast episode is designed to be a foundational episode, laying the foundation for future episodes of the podcast that dive deeper into this topic.
Kenny argues that there were four types of Protestants in the 1500s: Lutherans, Anabaptists, Anglicans, and Reformed/Calvinists. To hold to &#8220;Reformed Theology&#8221; would be to affirm the theology of that fourth group.
Kenny gives us eight observations of that specific group:
<ol>
<li>Unconditional election</li>
<li>Covenantal theology</li>
<li>Spiritual reality in participating in the sacraments</li>
<li>Primary and secondary uses of the Law</li>
<li>Christ-centered hermeneutic</li>
<li>Pedobaptism</li>
<li>Regulative Principle of Worship</li>
<li>Particular application of theology to the public square</li>
</ol>
