Since the middle of the nineteenth century scholars have questioned whether Reformed orthodoxy represented a corruption of, a reaction to, or an authentic development of the early Reformed theology of Martin Bucer (1491–1551), Heinrich Bullinger (1504–1575), and John Calvin (1509–1564).1 This approach sees a movement from a vital movement to an institutional corruption of that vitality.2 In the middle of the nineteenth century, Heinrich Heppe (1820–79) pioneered the second of these approaches portraying Reformed covenant or federal theology as a Melanchthonian reaction to Calvin’s alleged predestinarian dogmatism.3 A third approach finds two competing traditions with Reformed theology, one gracious and covenantal and the other 1 For a concise survey of the older approach to Reformed orthodoxy see Richard A.

This gap was present in all years observed in the study (2005–18). It grew significantly starting in 2012, however, as depressive affect unilaterally spiked among liberals. Three years later, conservatives also began reporting increases in depression—although that rise tapered off relatively quickly while the increases among liberals continued. Liberal girls tended to be significantly more depressed than boys, particularly after 2011. However, ideological differences swamped gender differences.
