This lively and insightful exploration of Reformed identity first traces the historical development of the Reformed tradition, from Calvin and Zwingli to the Iona Community and Taize, before comparing and contrasting theology and the practice of prayer across a variety of Reformed writers. Election, its Biblical roots and socio-political consequences, is at the core of Reformed experience, and David Cornick considers how the doctrine of election was appropriated, and its effect on spirituality.
