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 as enacted in history, and the hearts of God's people as formed by history. What emerges is a picture of Christ as the Mediator of God's covenant through his threefold role of priest, king and prophet.

A Thorough Presentation,

This review is from: Calvin's Christology (Paperback)
Edmonson has done us all a favor. This is a well written, tightly argued book on Calvin's view of Jesus Christ--first as Mediator, then as Prophet, Priest, and King. Many books have been written on Calvin and his theology. This is among the best! We are grateful for the author's pursuit of this topic and his fine work presented here.
