Willem Vangemeren

In the book Five Views of Law and Gospel the first essay is by Willem Vangemeren representing the Reformed Theology view. He basically writes a tour de force history of redemption leaving the other four theologians (Theonomic, Dispensational, Lutheran, etc.) with nothing but milquetoast attempts to counter him. They nit pic, and in the case of the Dispensationalist he appropriates what he can't deny while still calling his position Dispensationalist. 

Reformed Theology is parts-in-relation-to-the-whole biblical theology. When you can see the parts in relation to the whole you have understanding. 

There are deep stumbling blocks. For instance if you have a low view of faith or a low view of sin and man's fallen condition and need for the very blood of Christ you won't see the bondage of Old Testament saints living under the curse and death sentence of the law. 

It goes to the basics and the need to have an experiential understanding of them.
