About this ebook
The Development of Reformed Theology” is an informative, religious article, almost 6,500 words, that chronicles the leaders and history of the reformed theology movement. It outlines the basic tenants as found in the Calvinistic T.U.L.I.P concept of what it means to be reformed. For example, the “T” stands for “total depravity,” and “U” represents “unconditional election.” The “L” symbolizes “limited atonement”, while the “I” is for “irresistible grace.” Finally, “P” stands for the fifth tenant, which is “perseverance of the saints.” What’s more, “The Development of Reformed Theology” shows how Arminianism is different from the other primary types or Protestant theology. Once you’ve read this book, you’ll have a better understanding of what it means to be a Reformed Christian.

Introduction
This article is written from an objective standpoint, rather than heavily endorsing one type of theology over another. I do adhere to some of the tenets of the Reformed faith, but not sure about all five points of this theology. Let’s just say I’m still searching. On the other hand, I have to admit that the Reformed view has helped me understand struggles in my life as you’ll see later in this article.
Although all churches that broke away from the Roman Catholic Church can be classified as reformed,
the term refers to that division of the Reformation of the western church that was originally exemplifies by a distinctively non-Lutheran theology. The reformed faith went further than Lutheran theology, which is characterized by high ecclesiology with
