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.

  • Not a Covenant of Works in Disguise” (Herman Bavinck1): the Place of the Mosaic Covenant in Redemptive History
    MAJT 24 (2013): 143-177 “NOT A COVENANT OF WORKS IN DISGUISE” (HERMAN BAVINCK1): THE PLACE OF THE MOSAIC COVENANT IN REDEMPTIVE HISTORY by Robert Letham READERS WILL DOUBTLESS be aware of the argument that the Mosaic covenant is in some way a republication of the covenant of works made by God with Adam before the fall. In recent years, this has been strongly advocated by Meredith Kline and others influenced by his views. In this article I will ask some historical and theological questions of the claim. I will also consider how far Reformed theology, particularly in the period up to the production of the major confessional documents of the Westminster Assembly (1643-47), was of one mind on the question. 2 I will concentrate on the argument itself, without undue reference to persons.3 1. Herman Bavinck, Reformed Dogmatics, Volume 3: Sin and Salvation in Christ (Grand Rapids: Baker Academic, 2006), 222. 2. Apart from the works of Kline, cited below, others have addressed the matter in some detail - Mark W. Karlberg, “The Search for an Evangelical Consensus on Paul and the Law,” JETS 40 (1997): 563–79; Mark W. Karlberg, “Recovering the Mosaic Covenant as Law and Gospel: J. Mark Beach, John H.

  • The Function of Law and Grace in Calvin's Doctrine of Sanctification
    Calvin on Romans 6:1-8:14: The Function of Law and Grace in Calvin’s Doctrine of Sanctification through Union with Christ and its Implication for the Wesleyan Theology of Sanctification by Axel Kazadi A Thesis submitted to the Faculty of Wycliffe College and the Graduate Centre for Theological Studies of the Toronto School of Theology. In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Theology awarded by Wycliffe College and the University of Toronto © Copyright by Axel Kazadi 2018 Calvin on Romans 6:1-8:14: The Function of Law and Grace in Calvin’s Doctrine of Sanctification through Union with Christ and its Implication for the Wesleyan Theology of Sanctification Axel Kazadi Master of Theology Wycliffe College and the University of Toronto 2018 Abstract The thesis argues that sanctification in Calvin’s thought is driven by the dialectic of freedom and obedience, which is linked with our mortification and vivification within our union with Christ. The thesis uses Calvin as a resource for reframing the Wesleyan doctrine of entire sanctification. It is argued that the Wesleyan doctrine is driven by moral perfectionism because (1) it conceptualizes the Christian life as a state of perfection in which all sins (including original sin) are eradicated, and (2) it does not explicitly address our sanctification within our union with Christ. Calvin noted correctly that sanctification is continuous in this life, and it should be conceived as our participation in Christ, in whom we are daily being mortified and vivified by Him. Calvin can help steer the Wesleyan doctrine away from moral perfectionism by challenging it to reframe sanctification as a continual participation in Christ in this life.

  • The Origins of Millerite Separatism
    The Origins of Millerite Separatism By Andrew Taylor (BA in History, Aurora University and MA in History, University of Rhode Island) CHAPTER 1 HISTORIANS AND MILLERITE SEPARATISM ===================================== Early in 1841, Truman Hendryx moved to Bradford, Pennsylvania, where he quickly grew alienated from his local church. Upon settling down in his new home, Hendryx attended several services in his new community’s Baptist church. After only a handful of visits, though, he became convinced that the church did not believe in what he referred to as “Bible religion.” Its “impiety” led him to lament, “I sometimes almost feel to use the language [of] the Prophecy ‘Lord, they have killed thy prophets and digged [sic] down thine [sic] altars and I only am left alone and they seek my life.”’1 His opposition to the church left him isolated in his community, but his fear of “degeneracy in the churches and ministers” was greater than his loneliness. Self-righteously believing that his beliefs were the “Bible truth,” he resolved to remain apart from the Baptist church rather than attend and be corrupted by its “sinful” influence.2 The “sinful” church from which Hendryx separated himself was characteristic of mainstream antebellum evangelicalism. The tumultuous first decades of the nineteenth century had transformed the theological and institutional foundations of mainstream American Protestantism. During the colonial era, American Protestantism had been dominated by the Congregational, Presbyterian, and Anglican churches, which, for the most part, had remained committed to the theology of John Calvin. In Calvinism, God was envisioned as all-powerful, having predetermined both the course of history and the eternal destiny of all humans.

  • Money As God?
    Money as God? The nature of money and its impact on society has long interested scholars of economics, history, philosophy, law, and theology alike, and the recent financial crisis has moved these issues to the forefront of current public debate. In this study, authors from a range of backgrounds provide a unified examination of the nature and the purpose of money. Chapters cover the economic and social foundations of money; the historical origins of money in ancient Greece, China, the ancient Middle East, and medieval Europe; problems of justice connected to the use of money in legal systems and legal settlements, with examples both from ancient history and today; and theo- logical aspects of monetary and market exchange. This stimulating inter- disciplinary book, with its non-technical and lively discussion, will appeal to a global readership working in the interfaces of economics, law, and religion. ju¨ rgen von hagen is Professor of Economics and Director of the Institute for International Economic Policy at the University of Bonn, Germany.
