Download or read book Calvin s Christology written by Stephen Edmondson and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2004-07 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stephen Edmondson articulates a coherent Christology from Calvin's commentaries and his Institutes. He argues that, through the medium of Scripture's history, Calvin, the biblical humanist, renders a Christology that seeks to capture both the breadth of God's multifaceted grace enacted in history, and the hearts of God's people formed by history. What emerges is a picture of Christ as the Mediator of God's covenant through his threefold office of priest, king and prophet. This is the first significant volume to explore Calvin's Christology in several decades.

Download or read book John Calvin the Church and the Eucharist written by Kilian McDonnell and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2015-12-08 with total page 421 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Calvin's eucharistic doctrine has been approached in the past from the standpoint of his polemic with the Lutherans and the Zwinglians, but Father McDonnell believes that Calvin’s primary position was determined by his rejection of Roman Catholicism. The author, therefore, explores Calvin’s eucharistic doctrine through a comprehensive analysis of his stand against the Roman Catholic Church. Introductory chapters are devoted to the broader currents of pre-Reformation thought: Scotist tradition, devotiomoderna, humanism, and the Platonic renewal. The study continues with a discussion of St. Augustine, the medieval disputants, and the doctrines of Calvin’s contemporaries-Luther, Bucer, and Melanchthon. The final chapter considers the relevancy of Calvin’s objections to Catholic eucharistic doctrine and their relation to modern developments in Catholic sacramental thought.

Download or read book The Theology of John Calvin written by Charles Partee and published by Westminster John Knox Press. This book was released on 2008-01-01 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The theology of John Calvin (1509-1564) was given classic expression in his Institutes of the Christian Religion (1559). In this definitive work, longtime Calvin expert Charles Partee offers a careful exposition of Calvins theology as it appears in the Institutes, paying special attention to the relation of Calvins theology to the history of Christian thought and to the questions of Calvins own time. Partee also examines the development of later Calvinism and the adaptations of Calvins thought by his later followers. As Partee shows, Calvins theology provides a profound exposition of Christian faith and a magnificent resource for theology today.
Download or read book Calvin s Doctrine of the Work of Christ written by J Jansen and published by James Clarke & Company. This book was released on 2022-01-27 with total page 103 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The revival of interest in the Protestant Reformation in the mid-twentieth century was marked by several studies of John Calvin. J.F. Jansen, however, noted that these had shed new light on almost every aspect of his thought except that which lies at the heart of his theology - the doctrine of Christ's work. In Calvin's Doctrine of the Work of Christ, Jansen corrects this omission, providing a fresh study of Calvin's work in this area with special reference to his exegetical writings. Besides critiquing Calvin's development of the doctrine, he also examines the traditional theological formula of the three offices of Christ as prophet, priest and king. Reacting against the return to this formula by contemporary theologians such as Emil Brunner, he shows that an alternative conception of Christ's work is possible.
Download or read book John Calvin s Ecclesiology written by Gerard Mannion and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2011-06-02 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many events were staged and a plethora of new books appeared to mark the quincentenary of the birth of John Calvin, in 2009. But one area received considerably less attention in that anniversary year - namely, Calvin's ecclesiology. This study explores the development and fundamental legacy of Calvin's perspectives on and relationship with the church. Contributions are included which explore the later development and 'denominational variations' of Calvin's ecclesiology, along with ecumenical discussions/responses to and implications of Calvin's understanding of the church. There are further chapters which focus on particular aspects such as Calvin's ecclesiological method, understanding of ministry, the 'sacramental' principle, the 'invisible church' etc. Contributions on the use of Calvin's ecclesiology by later and modern/contemporary ecclesiologists also feature. This is a volume that brings together leading and emerging theological voices from Europe, North America and Latino America and from across the different theological sub-disciplines. Significantly, the book has a decidedly ecumenical perspective, with writers from several different denominational traditions contributing.

Download or read book Calvin on the Death of Christ written by Paul A. Hartog and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2021-05-03 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the most contested questions in historical theology concerns John Calvin’s understanding of the so-called “extent of the atonement.” On a popular level, Calvin’s name is closely associated with the “limited atonement” stance canonized within the “TULIP” acronym. But did Calvin himself insist upon a strictly particularist view of Christ dying for the elect alone? This study re-examines the evidence in the primary sources, traces the diversity of resulting historical trajectories, and engages the spectrum of secondary scholarship. Undoubtedly, Calvin believed in unconditional election, but he also spoke on multiple occasions of Christ dying for “all” or for “the world”—yet what did he mean? Some may find the conclusions surprising, but all should find them cogently articulated and irenically tempered.
Download or read book Accepted and Renewed in Christ written by Cornelis P. Venema and published by Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht. This book was released on 2007-09-11 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Calvin betrachtet Rechtfertigung und Heiligung als Güter des dreieinigen Gottes, die dem Menschen durch das Heilswerk Christi über den Heiligen Geist zuteil werden, so die These dieser Studie. Die Lehre von der doppelten Gnade steht dabei in dem größeren Zusammenhang der Rede von Gott als dem Schöpfer und Erlöser. Diesen beleuchtet Cornelis P. Venema und verortet die Lehre von Rechtfertigung und Heiligung in Calvins Theologie. Darüber hinaus werden strittige Fragen der Calvinforschung erörtert, z.B. Calvins Verständnis von Gesetz und Evangelium und die Rolle guter Werke.
Download or read book Christ in Our Place written by Paul Van Buren and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2002-09-25 with total page 167 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the general rediscovery of the Reformation of the sixteenth century, the profile of Calvin, who was its greatest teacher, became for many once more impressive. These men had definitely no need of an authoritative orthodoxy. They were and remained free men, even with respect to Calvin (as with respect to all the Fathers of the Church). They found it good and wholesome, however, to become in all freedom the pupils of Calvin. Strange as it may seem, they learned precisely from Calvin a way of free theological thinking! Indeed this great man had not wanted to set up, proclaim and make victorious the authority of his person and teaching, but rather simply to give guidance in the hearing of the Word of God Himself as witnessed in Holy Scripture. He wished 'to bring every thought captive unto the obedience of Christ' (2 Cor. 10.5). He who speaks of 'Calvinism', he who boasts of being a 'Calvinist' or condemns others as 'Calvinists', only shows thereby that he either does not know or has not understood Calvin. He who learns from Calvin learns no '-ism', but rather attention, concentration, loyalty and joyousness before the truth, the truth which is not exhausted in any 'system' and which no man has done enough to serve, not even this master. But this master, in his sermons, in his exegetical writings, in his letters, and also in exemplary fashion in his Irzstz"tutes, did serve the truth. He did so with the highest sense of responsibility, always with well-founded urgency, but also always in such a way as to stimulate further thought, always with stern recollection of the one thing that is necessary, and (far from being concerned entirely with mere theory) always thinking matters through in the face of the actual, practical life of the Church and of Christians in the world, and in the presence of the eternal God. As a teacher of this sort, as an educator into true theological liberalism, Calvin has become known and loved by a few of us during the past decades. (from the Introduction)
