Beskrivning

Heinrich Quistorp elucidates Calvin’s Doctrine of the Last Things to reveal the reformer’s exploration of Hope, Immortality, Judgement and Consummation in Christ.The reformers' revival of evangelical theology elicited a re-discovery of the fundamental truths of the Bible, including their view of the fundamental eschatological character of the Gospel. John Calvin, reformer and founding pillar of modern theology, remains an influential and strong source of theological wisdom, as Quistorp demonstrates. Heinrich Quistorp elucidates Calvin's Doctrine of the Last Things to reveal the reformer's exploration of Hope, Immortality, Judgement and Consummation in Christ. With a detailed exploration of Calvin's writings on the present time and its relationship to eternal destiny, Quistorp illuminates this crucial doctrine. A first-rate reference for those in the reformed tradition and a revealing scholarly study of the range and power of Calvin's view of the Christian faith, this book is essential for students of the reformation.
