Popis: Though Protestantism is all too commonly accused of providing a theology that is too individualistic, there are in fact numerous historical resources from which a decidedly Reformed theology can be developed which is attentive to the social nature of theology. This essay will develop precisely such a theology in dialogue with Henri de Lubac, the Catholic theologian perhaps most aware of the social dimension of Catholic thought. Combined, Heinrich Bullinger’s doctrine of election, John Owen’s understanding of limited atonement, and Abraham Kuyper’s pneumatology provide an adequately social reformed theology that can overcome numerous objections.
