Comprehensive treatment of Reformed doctrine, not just predestination.

Here is my critical review of Boettner's book:

https://agrammatos.files.wordpress.com/2018/01/critical-review-of-loraine-boettn...

I write this review from a non-Calvinist perspective. I discovered a review from this fellow, who I think makes a fair criticism of Bottner's work from a Reformed-Calvinist perspective:

“Boettner was trying to do the right thing but suffered from such a narrow
understanding of the subject. This is perhaps the first major use of ‘TULIP’
to explain predestination. It lacks the larger covenantal context, as well as
any well-informed explanation of moderate Calvinism. The exegesis is
strained as well. This book is historic but flawed” (Steven Wedgeworth)

This book is, to put it mildly, not a very gentle treatment of its subject. It can be a valuable resource in studying a certain religion, but that religion is not, despite the title, Roman Catholicism. Rather, that religion is the staunchly anti-Roman Protestantism of the author. If you want a look at how Roman Catholicism was perceived by an influential mid-twentieth-century Protestant controversialist, then this is the book for you.
