Calvin's theology, and much more,
This review is from: The Theology of John Calvin (Paperback)
The Theology of John Calvin does in fact deliver what the title promises - a good analysis/summary of Calvin's theology - but it also delivers much more.
One of the best things about The Theology of John Calvin is Barth's overview of the medieval church preceding the material on Calvin himself. It lays a great foundation for the discussion of the life and theology of John Calvin by showing you where he stood in history, what he was reacting to, and the underlying ideological issues at work in the reformation. It also gives a more sympathetic, understanding portrait of the medieval church than is often drawn for us. Barth then provides a lengthy analysis of the other superstars of the Protestant Reformation -- Luther and Zwingly -- and compares the three. Barth does a masterful job of always keeping the broad, historical picture in view, yet at the same time paints a very detailed and human portrait of Calvin as a man. |
