Steven O’Malley, Instructor Class Description and Objectives: An examination of the life and thought of John Calvin, with primary attention given to the study of his Institutes of the Christian Religion. Our purpose is to gain a working knowledge of Calvin’s theology in its historical context, that will enable the student to interact with central themes of Calvin’s thought as they relate to the responsibilities of Christian ministry. Hopefully the student may also be assisted in advancing the dialogical and ecumenical objectives of attaining greater common understanding between the Reformed and Wesleyan/Arminian communities of faith. General Goals: 1) Identify the main features in the historical context of Calvin’s era and explore their influence upon his life and thought. 2) Identify the major events in the life of Calvin and their influence upon his thought. 3.) Evidence an understanding of major historiographical considerations in the life and thought of Calvin, including the relative merits of different schools of interpreting his thought.

RECOVERING THE REFORMATION HERITAGE IN GEORGE MACKAY BROWN’S GREENVOE Richard Rankin Russell The Orcadian writer George Mackay Brown posited in his 1970 essay, “The Broken Heraldry,” written while he was drafting his best novel, Greenvoe (1972), that the Reformation shattered irremediably ... the fullness of life of a community, its single interwoven identity. In earlier times the temporal and the eternal, the story and the fable, were not divorced, as they came to be after Knox: they used the same language and imagery, so that the whole of life was illuminated. Crofters and fishermen knew what Christ was talking about ... because they bore the stigmata of labour on their bodies—the net let down into the sea, the sower going forth to sow, the fields white towards harvest.1 This close connection of the Orkney islanders to the land enabled them to fully understand and apply Christ’s often agrarian sayings and stories to their own lives.
