John Calvin is one of the church’s greatest theologians, and Calvinism one of the Western world’s most influential intellectual movements. To celebrate John Calvin’s 500th birthday in 2009, Logos Bible Software has assembled the John Calvin 500 Collection. At 108 volumes, the John Calvin 500 Collection is the largest collection of Calvin material available in the English-speaking world! This massive collection contains all of Calvin’s commentaries, five editions of the Institutes in three languages, four volumes of letters and correspondence, dozens of tracts and treatises, ten biographies, and twenty volumes of secondary literature on the history and influence of Calvinism. In short, this is the definitive collection of Calvin material.

Following in the footsteps of Plato, Aristotle, Cicero, Horace, Quintilian, and countless other preeminent thinkers, Sacred Rhetoric: A Course of Lectures on Preaching marks the great Southern theologian Robert Lewis Dabney’s deft foray into the utmost concern of all preachers – the eloquent oration of God’s Word. This non-denominational textbook, based on Dabney’s years of teaching Pulpit Rhetoric in Union Theological Seminary, advances the practices of the classic rhetoricians while emphasizing the specific needs of the Christian preacher.

The five points of Calvinism—total depravity, unconditional election, limited atonement, irresistible grace, and the perseverance of the saints—were first defined by the Synod of Dordrecht years after Calvin’s death in response to the theological positions of Arminius. These claims were enormously influential in the construction of all Reformed confessions during the seventeenth century and thereafter. In this concise volume, Robert Lewis Dabney traces the history of Calvin's original ideas and the fruition of those ideas in later Reformed communities. Dabney pays particular attention to the development of the five points within Presbyterian churches and orients his discussion towards those with little or no formal theological training. Dabney thoroughly explains each point with numerous Scripture references and historical anecdotes.

Nineteenth-century professor and theologian Robert Lewis Dabney captivates his readers with essays and lectures covering a vast array of subjects in this 11-volume collection. Robert Lewis Dabney Collection (11 Vols.) contains ten books of valuable insight into theology, science, and psychology, as well as a biographical volume taking a close-up look into the life of this Southern Presbyterian confederate.

Los cinco puntos del calvinismo –depravación total, elección incondicional, expiación limitada, gracia irresistible y perseverancia de los santos– fueron definidos por primera vez en el sínodo de Dordrecht años después de la muerte de Calvino en respuesta a la posición teológica de Arminio. Estas afirmaciones fueron enormemente influyentes en la construcción de todas las confesiones reformadas durante el Siglo XVII y posteriores. En este conciso volumen, Robert Lewis Dabney traza la historia de las ideas originales de Calvino y la fruición de esas ideas en comunidades reformadas posteriores.

When professor Robert Lewis Dabney stopped lecturing at the collegiate level, he combined his knowledge and lectures into Syllabus and Notes on the Course of Systematic and Polemic Theology. Comprised of seventy-four lectures, this book is a gold mine of theological insights. It was later published unchanged under the two titles Lectures in Systematic Theology and Systematic Theology.

Calvin and the History of the Calvinism Collection (31 Vols.) assembles some of the most important secondary literature published in the area of Reformation history and theology and the history of Calvinist thought in faith and culture.

If God is love, how can His Son have taken on our transgressions through penal substitution? The act of sacrificing one person for the sins of many has been related by some biblical scholars and students to pagan sacrificial practices and to the idea that God cannot both be love and be our penal substitution. Dabney argues that Christ’s atonement of our sins does not mirror pagan sacrificial practices, nor does it negate the fact that God is love. True to form, Dabney backs his writing with scri...

The 13th amendment to the Constitution, officially abolishing slavery in the United States of America, was passed in December of 1865 after over two centuries of slavery in this young country. Two years later, Dabney published A Defence of Virginia, a litigious document expressing the other viewpoint to a subject so intensely dividing that it sparked the American Civil War. Exposing an opposing view of Abraham Lincoln’s idea that slavery is wrong, this book shows a theologian’s earnest belief, b...
