Hi Brothers and Sisters,
Being new to Calvinism has led me to subjects I've never thought of before. For example: Theonomy, Sabbatarianism and Paedobaptism. It also got me thinking about authors who stood opposed to each other on important topics. In another words, Luther had his Erasmus, Toplady had his Wesley.
The following three men listed below I have been either been recommended to or warned off of by from faithful Christians on both sides of the issue. So who are their published adversaries?
Van Til VS ?
Rushdoony VS ?
Bahnsen VS ?
Who are/were the champions of the opposite ideologies of these men?
-ALSO-
Books on:
Post Millennial VS Amillennial
Sabbatarianism VS Anti-Sabbatarianism
Paedobaptism vs Credobaptism
Theonomy VS Anti-Theonomy
Federalism VS Seminalism
What are the books/authors that clearly lay out both themes?
Much Appreciated...In Him...Ken
 
While not a book, I highly recommend Scott Clark's heidelblog and heidelcast. I am sure other people here will have books to recommend for you
 
Van til vs Clark
Gentry vs Riddlebarger for postmill vs amil
RS Clark and van Durnen vs Frame and Gentry for 2k vs Theonomy.
 
I would encourage you not to approach theology as a matter of choosing between to competing parties on every given issue, because it is often the case that both sides have their issues, especially in the 20th century and onward, where the Church has already declined a lot from its confessional and biblical moorings.
If I might be permitted to suggest a different course of study, you could benefit a lot as a neophyte from a careful study of the Reformed confessions and catechisms. For the Westminster Confession, the commentaries of A.A. Hodge and G.I. Williamson are widely accepted.
For the Heidelberg Catechism, the commentary of its author, Zacharias Ursinus, is a great resource.

If I may build off of this a little bit, John Gerstner did a nice audio/video series on the Westminster Confession of Faith, and has a 100 part series on theology, both available on the Ligonier app. I thought they were both very insightful.

I listened to his stuff this morning. I like to get growled at sometimes.
