Overview

Auguste Lecerf, was one of the ablest ""reformed"" theologians of the 20th century. His lectures at the University of Paris were praised for their succinctness, controversial skill and deep learning. His ""Reformed Dogmatics"" was never incomplete at the time of his death. The first two volumes, translated here, entitled ""De la Nature de la Conaissance Religieuse"" and ""De Fondement et de la Specification de la Conaissance Religieuse"", stand on their own, however, and form a major contribution to theology. Lecerf's work forms a profound study of the nature and basis of religious knowledge and offer a valuable critique of European philosophy from the standpoint of orthodox Calvinism.
