Reformed Protestantism is variously critiqued in a secular age. On the one hand, Roman Catholics and Anglo-Catholics represent Protestantism as individualistic, opposed to tradition and liturgy, and tending toward a world-denying spirituality. They see Protestantism as participating in modernity’s worst tendencies. On the other hand, missional churches tend to see Magisterial Protestantism as inflexible and overly traditional, being unable to relate to a modern, secular context. I seek to retrieve the often unrecognised missional potential of a robust Reformed ecclesiology for a secular age. I retrieve an account of Reformed ecclesiology in dialogue with Calvin and some key modern voices.

在世俗时代，改革新教受到了各种批评。一方面，罗马天主教徒和盎格鲁天主教徒将新教徒视为个人主义，反对传统和礼拜仪式，并趋向于否认世界的灵性。他们认为新教徒参与了现代性的最坏趋势。另一方面，传教士的教会倾向于将宗教新教视为僵化的，过于传统的，无法与现代的世俗情境联系起来。我力图找回世俗时代强大的改革宗教会学经常无法识别的传教潜力。通过与加尔文（Calvin）和一些重要的现代声音的对话，我得到了改革宗教学的论述。
