Calvin on the Death of Christ

Theology

“In this densely-argued and even more densely-footnoted study, Paul Hartog has done what many might have thought impossible at this point: shed fresh light into the tangled thicket of the long debate on Calvin, ‘Calvinism,’ and limited atonement. Deftly weaving his way through the voluminous scholarship, Hartog persuasively argues that Calvin, respectful of the diverse biblical testimony on the issue, taught both a universal and a particular aspect to Christ’s atoning work. In so doing, Hartog adds his voice to a growing chorus calling for Reformed teachers today to recognize the nuance and diversity of their tradition on this central mystery of the Christian faith.”

Theology

“Borneman's work provides a valuable contribution to the growing constellation of studies on that most fascinating of nineteenth-century American theologians, John Williamson Nevin.”
