"From the sixteenth century to the present, from the evolution of toleration to the fluctuating history of eschatology, in conversation with Browne, Calvin, Forsyth, Barth, and countless ecumenical partners, here is Reformed theology at its elegant, thoughtful, lucid, courteous, and provocative best." David Cornick, Fellow in Theology and Religious Studies, Robinson College, Cambridge "This book will be particularly useful to Christians of other traditions seeking to understand the Reformed tradition and its principles in the context of the Ecumenical Movement. ... this is a good and stimulating book. Professor Sell is never dull." David Carter, Churches Together in England "Drawing upon the past, Sell challenges us, both positively and provocatively, to think and live as Christians today." Trevor Jamison, in Reform Magazine, March 2014 "... Any who takes interest in the reformed tradition will profit from these essays. The author has read widely in the tradition and draws from the likes of Calvin, Baxter and Watson. Sell observes and warns against the recent trend of isolating doctrines from one another, particularly ecclesiology." John C. A. Ferguson, in The Expository Times, Vol. 126, Issue 4, January 2015 "Sell is an interesting, interested, and learned interlocutor who keeps a tradition before us even as he furthers that tradition with his own insight." -Allan Janssen, Journal of Reformed Theology, 9.3 (2015) "Sell writes well, often with a twinkle in his eye and usually generous when treating thinkers with whom he takes issue. He displays a refreshing humility for a Reformed Theologian.... This book deserves a wide audience.... It ought to be read by church leaders and all thinking Christians..." -David Peel, Modern Believing (57.2), March 2016 "This essay [11. Confessing the Faith in Systematic Theology?] is characteristic of Sell's theology, because it focuses exclusively on Christ the Saviour who reveals God as the Creator-Redeemer of holy love. It is both creative in its playing with words and still - or rather therefore - so compelling and convincing. It is also a beautiful example of living Reformed systematic theology, testifying to God's grace with the Bible, the Christian tradition and the intellectual culture's discussion partners: exactly what the systematic theology is supposed to be according to Sell (289)." -Henk van den Belt, Journal of Reformed Theology, 10, 2016 "Particularly striking is not (just) the depth of thought on display, but the sheer breadth and diversity, too. ... Here is an author both scholarly as well as candid; his text is the better for it. It lives up to its title. Of course, all these might otherwise be the ingredients of a chaotic volume. Not so here. Sell's Confessing the Faith is well-structured and well-written." -Nathan Paylor, Theological Book Review, Vol. 27 No.1, 2016
