In this illuminating study, David C. Steinmetz
places Calvin's thought in the context of the
theological and exegetical traditions - ancient,
medieval, and early modern - that shaped it.
Steinmetz does not limit discussion of Calvin's
thought to his undeniably important handbook to
theology, the much revised Institutes of the
Christian Religion. Instead, he opens up a
broader context by examining works less
frequently cited, particularly Calvin's
commentaries, classical studies, and polemical
treatises. Steinmetz grapples with Calvin's views
on a wide range of contested issues, including
the natural knowledge of God, the problem of
iconoclasm, the doctrines of justification and
predestination, and the role of the state.
Steinmetz also clarifies Calvin's quarrels with
Lutherans, Catholics, and Radicals. Yet this book
does not reduce Calvin's contribution to his
usefulness as a resource for contemporary
theological debates. The Calvin who emerges in
these pages is a sixteenth- century figure, both
strangely foreign and uncannily familiar, a man
who frequently engages his enemies and sometimes
even corrects his friends, but is never mute,
never dull, and always stylistically elegant.An
accessible yet authoritative introduction to the
mind of the historical Calvin, Calvin in Context
provides a framework for understanding Calvin
from his own writings and the writings of his
contemporaries. This edition features a revised
preface and six new chapters.
