Synopsis |

Synopsis Reacting against such a tradition, John Calvin rejects the traditional practice of “spiritual” exegesis, especially that of allegorical interpretation. He reserves his harshest comments for those who do “violence” to the literal meaning of the text. Yet, there are some who think that Calvin himself uses such methods in his exegetical works. Does he or does he not? This paper examines some key passages where Calvin could have adopted a non-literal approach to biblical interpretation, and explores the possibility that perhaps the great Reformer’s approach to interpreting Scripture is more than meets the eye. |

Synopsis Furthermore, these questions: “Does baptism save? Why should infants be baptised? What are sacraments and how do they work?” are so common among Christians that we should try to give the best answers to them. Calvin and Luther gave similar and yet slightly different answers. Their perspectives especially to the relationship between faith and the sacraments, in particular, baptism, will hopefully shed more light on us as we consider these questions anew today. |

Synopsis Conscious of Calvin’s primary concern for faith formation, this paper serves as an introduction to Calvin’s theology and method for nurturing Christian piety as seen in the Institutes of the Christian Religion (1559). It explores Calvin’s explication of regeneration and its progress in the Christian life. The paper will draw especially from Book 3:6-10 of the Institutes and will examine, for example, the relationship between the Word and the Holy Spirit, the roles of the heart and mind in Christian formation, and a rule of life that is patterned after Christ’s. It concludes with reflections on its ramifications for our practice of Christian nurture today. |
