| Publisher Description: John Calvin had a keen interest in what the Scriptures teach about the nature and faculties, as well as the role and responsibilities, of human beings. For him, the proper way is the way we were created: in the image and likeness of God. Jason Van Vliet examines Calvins's explanation of the imago Dei within the times and ecclesiastical circumstances in which he lived. He aims at giving a satisfactory answer to the question of whether Calvins's teaching on the imago Dei can be considered one of the stronger or weaker points of his reformatory work. |
