Description

This review is from: John Calvin (Men of Faith) (Paperback) John Calvin is a pivotal character in Protestant Church history. The bio on the cover says that “after Ausgustine” he is one of the most important theologians. I wasn’t certain whether this was literally ‘after’ or ‘in the footsteps of…’ both standpoints being partly true. Certainly, Calvin’s exegetical methodology in writing commentaries is examined later in this book, and having looked at both Augustine’s allegorising and Calvin’s systematic approach, I would have to say that Calvin doesn’t really follow “after Augustine” in this sense!
