Godly Catholicity

The Reformed faith has a well-defined core of non-negotiable doctrines. But it has never possessed one complete and common theological expression. This fact helps us to appreciate the determined catholicity of John Calvin, which Pastor Hamilton examines in this lesson. Christians today are called to pursue this godly catholicity, a distinctive feature of Calvinism, without the compromise of gospel truth.
