About this course

You’ve heard of Reformed theology, but you’re not certain what it is. Some references to it have been positive, some negative. It appears to be important, and you’d like to know more about it. And you want a full explanation, not a simplistic one. Few evangelical Christians today understand Reformed theology. They know it has something to do with predestination, and they may have heard of “the five points.” But they can’t name these points, and they think no one believes most of them anymore. In this course, you'll learn there’s more to Reformed theology than these five points. Reformed theology reveals just how awesome the grace of God is.

An optional book What is Reformed Theology? can be purchased from the Ligonier Store here to enhance the learning experience.
