Calvin the Magistrate

History & Biography

“While Calvin is remembered chiefly as a reformer, Gatgounis demonstrates the organic connection between his theology and his jurisprudence as well as their collaborative force in sixteenth-century Geneva, where Puritan zeal sought to transform church and state. This well-researched volume also charts Calvin’s influence in colonial New England.”

The Law of the Eucharist

Theology

“In this volume we have a careful study of the positions of two ninth-century scholarly monks in the millennia-old debate over the ontological nature of the eucharistic elements. However, Gatgounis goes beyond comparing Radbert’s transubstantiation and Ratramn’s spiritual presence to trace their influence on the debate down the centuries to Continental and English Reformers.”
