The Conventicle: New Book: Reformed Thought on Freedom

Who were the Puritans?

"A loosely organized reform movement originating during the English Reformation of the sixteenth century. The name came from efforts to 'purify' the Church of England by those who felt that the Reformation had not yet been completed. Eventually the Puritans went on to attempt purification of the self and of society as well."

(Mark Noll, "Puritanism", Evangelical Dictionary of Theology, 1984)

New Book: Reformed Thought on Freedom

In the van Asselt article (see below, WTJ 68 (2006): 33, n.48), he mentioned that he was c0-editing a forthcoming book entitled, Reformed Thought on Freedom: The Concept of Free Choice in the History of Early Mondern Reformed Theology, ed. Willem J. van Asselt, J. M. Bac, and R. T. te Velde (Grand Rapids: Baker Academic, 2006).

Does anybody know anything about this? Has anyone seen a copy or know a release date?

I can't find anything about a release date, but two of the articles appear to be:

Girolamo Zanchi, "Always Free, but Not Always Good: Girolamo Zanchi (1516-1590) on Free Will"

Andreas J. Beck, "The Will as Master of its Own Act: A Disputation Rediscovered of Gisbertus Voetius (1589-1676) on Freedom of Will."

K. Scott Oliphint cites the former in his new book, Reasons for Faith. He didn't include a pub date, but he did include page numbers, so I assume it's been typeset.
