For Thirty Years D. Clair Davis taught Church History at Westminster Theological Seminary in Philadelphia. His influence will not be fully known until the next life, but as a measure of the esteem that he is held in. this remarkable volume has been prepared.

Section 1 consists of 5 articles written by D. Clair Davis himself looking anew at the 5 points of Calvinism.

Section 2 looks at the Reformed Heritage through Church History.

Section 3 is a revealing, charming and often amusing collection of anecdotes by colleagues, students and friends of Dr Davis.

Section 4 is a bibliography of Dr Davis' wide and varied writings. A useful reference source in itself.

"...a feast, both appetising & satisying, of contemporary reflection on the Presbyterian & Reformed heritage. Articles from a galaxy of scholars lead us into matters historical, theological, homiletical & pastoral." - Edward Donnelly, Principal, Reformed Theological College, Belfast, Northern Ireland

"Festschrifts usually suffer from lack of cohesion and variable quality. This work doesn't, and in fact provides an excellent introduction to the Reformed Heritage especially for readers who are not part of that tradition." - James Grier, Academic Dean, Grand Rapids Baptist Seminary, Grand Rapids, Michigan
