Book Synopsis The Brightest Mirror of God's Works by : Nico Vorster
Download or read book The Brightest Mirror of God's Works written by Nico Vorster and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2019-03-28 with total page 199 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: John Calvin’s perspectives on the nature, calling, and destiny of the human being is scattered all over his extensive corpus of writings. This book attempts to provide an accurate account of the main theological motifs that governed Calvin’s doctrine on the human being, while keeping in mind variable factors such as the historical development of Calvin’s thought, the pastoral and often unsystematic orientation of his theology, and the formative impact doctrinal controversies had on his thoughts. The contribution focuses specifically on Calvin’s understanding of the created structure of the human being, her sinful nature, the human being’s union with Christ, the limits of human reason, the anthropological roots of human society and gender. The primary aim is to make the original Calvin speak. But the contribution also addresses some of the most recent debates on Calvin’s theology and identifies those impulses in his theological anthropology that bear potential for modern reflections on human existence. Like most of us, Calvin was a child of his time. However, his intellectual legacy endures and readers may well find his thoughts on the human being surprisingly refreshing and stimulating for modern anthropological and social discourses.

""After reading this well argued and meticulously researched publication by Nico Vorster I am more than ever convinced of the incalculable value of Calvin's theological inheritance to the recent modern theological debate. This magisterial, lucid exposition of Calvin's theological Anthropology shows a prodigious intellect, indefatigably processing oceans of text and research literature to present a powerful, provocative stimulus and reliable contribution to the recent debate. Nico Vorster's theological analysis is crisp, logical, and a reliable source of research for academic scholars as well as students. He thoroughly articulates the facts, questions, and perspectives of different scholars to present his suggestions and proposals."" --Jan du Rand, North-West University ""As one of South Africa's best-known systematic theologians who focuses on Calvinist studies, Nico Vorster in this book investigates several aspects of Calvin's anthropology. He shows its relevance in addressing systemic problems that modern societies face, like human alienation, individualism, collective power abuse, systemic corruption, ecocide, and the fracturing of communities. His discussion of Calvin's anthropology demonstrates that many of the modern theological anthropological challenges are in fact old questions in new disguises."" --Marius Nel, North-West University Nico Vorster is Professor in Systematic Theology at the Faculty of Theology of the North West University in South Africa. He has published various books, articles and book chapters within the fields of Theological Anthropology Christian Social Ethics and Public Theology. He is the author of the book Created in the Image of God (2011).

Book Synopsis John Calvin and the Righteousness of Works by : Kevin P. Emmert
Download or read book John Calvin and the Righteousness of Works written by Kevin P. Emmert and published by Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht. This book was released on 2021-07-12 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: John Calvin's understanding of works-righteousness is more complex than is often recognized. While he denounces it in some instances, he affirms it in others. This study shows that Calvin affirms works-righteousness within the context where faith-righteousness is already established, and that he even teaches a form of justification by works. Calvin ascribes not only a positive role to good works in relation to divine acceptance, but also soteriological value to believers' good works. This study demonstrates such by exploring Calvin's theological anthropology, his understanding of divine-human activity, his teaching on the nature of good works, and his understanding of divine grace and benevolence. It also addresses current debates in Calvin scholarship by exploring topics such as union with Christ, the relation between justification and sanctification, the relation between good works and divine acceptance, the role of good works in the Christian life, and the content of good works.

Book Synopsis The Book of Divine Works by : St. Hildegard of Bingen
Download or read book The Book of Divine Works written by St. Hildegard of Bingen and published by Catholic University of America Press. This book was released on 2018-10-16 with total page 568 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Completed in 1173, The Book of Divine Works (Liber Divinorum Operum) is the culmination of the Visionary’s Doctor’s theological project, offered here for the first time in a complete and scholarly English translation. The first part explores the intricate physical and spiritual relationships between the cosmos and the human person, with the famous image of the universal Man standing astride the cosmic spheres. The second part examines the rewards for virtue and the punishments for vice, mapped onto a geography of purgatory, hellmouth, and the road to the heavenly city. At the end of each Hildegard writes extensive commentaries on the Prologue to John’s Gospel (Part 1) and the first chapter of Genesis (Part 2)—the only premodern woman to have done so. Finally, the third part tells the history of salvation, imagined as the City of God standing next to the mountain of God’s foreknowledge, with Divine Love reigning over all.
