{{For|the Eastern Christian reformation movement|Reformed Orthodoxy (Eastern Christianity)}}Reformed Orthodoxy is the systematized, institutionalized and codified Reformed theology of the period following the Reformation in the middle of the sixteenth century down to the late eighteenth century. The term may sometimes be used in a broad sense to include Lutheran orthodoxy.^[1] The period of the dominance of orthodoxy ended when liberal theology became the norm in the universities.^[2]

The history of Reformed Orthodoxy can be divided into three or four periods. "Early orthodoxy", the formative period, lasts roughly from the death of John Calvin (1564) of the second generation of reformers down to the Synod of Dort (1618–19), which codified Reformed soteriology as against that of Arminianism. "High orthodoxy" corresponds roughly to the seventeenth century after Dort. It represents the high water mark of Reformed Orthodoxy and the period of Reformed Scholasticism. During the period of "late orthodoxy" (or "supernaturalism"), Reformed theologians had to confront the intellectual trends of the Enlightenment, fundamentally altering orthodoxy in the process.^[2] Sometimes a transitional phase influenced by pietism, lasting from about 1700 to 1740, is placed between high and late orthodoxy. Since the demise of Reformed Orthodoxy as the dominant theology of the Reformed churches and universities, the traditions and teachings of the period have been kept alive to the present day. Among nineteenth- and twentieth-century exponents of orthodoxy are Heinrich Heppe, Charles Hodge, Herman Bavinck and Louis Berkhof.^[3]
