John Calvin's Ecclesiology (Ecclesiological Investigations) (Criminal Practice)
by Dr. Gerard Mannion and Professor Eduardus Van der Borght
Many events were staged and a plethora of new books appeared to mark the quincentenary of the birth of John Calvin, in 2009. But one area received considerably less attention in that anniversary year - namely, Calvin's ecclesiology. This study explores the development and fundamental legacy of Calvin's perspectives on and relationship with the church. Contributions are included which explore the later development and 'denominational variations' of Calvin's ecclesiology, along with ecumenical dis...
The Identity and the Life of the Church (Princeton Theological Monograph, #203)
by Yosep Kim
'The Identity and the Life of the Church' is a study of John Calvin's ecclesiology that argues that Calvin's idea of the twofold identity of the Church - its spiritual identity as the body of Christ and its functional identity as the mother of all believers - is closely related to his understanding of Christian identity and life, which are initiated and maintained by the grace of the triune God. The anthropological basis of Calvin's idea of the Church has not been examined fully, even though Cal...
Changes in Spiritual Freedom in the Church of Scotland 1980-2005
by Robert Alexander Anderson
" This is the first book length assesment in English of the impact of Karl Barth's theology in Britain. Beginning with the essays of Adolf Keller and H.R. Mackintosh in the 1920s, it analyses the interplay between Barth's developing thought and different strands of English, Scottish and Welsh church history up to the 1980s. Barth's impact on British perceptions of the German Church Struggle during the 1930s is discussed, along with the ready acceptance that his theology gained among the English...

John Calvin's Institutes of the Christian Religion (Lives of Great Religious Books)
by Bruce Gordon
John Calvin's Institutes of the Christian Religion is a defining book of the Reformation and a pillar of Protestant theology. First published in Latin in 1536 and in Calvin's native French in 1541, the Institutes argues for the majesty of God and for justification by faith alone. The book decisively shaped Calvinism as a major religious and intellectual force in Europe and throughout the world. Here, Bruce Gordon provides an essential biography of Calvin's influential and enduring theological ma...
The Beginning of a Spirit-filled Church
by Herman Hendrik van Alten
How does John Calvin view the church? And how does the pivotal event of Pentecost influence his view on the church? In his commentary on the Acts of the Apostles Calvin shows how Pentecost and the preaching of the Gospel gives rise to the church. For Calvin the new and peculiar aspect of Pentecost is articulated by the phrases "I will pour out" and "on all flesh" (Acts 2:17). The first phrase ("I will pour out") leads to a discussion of the Holy Spirit who leads the church and the believers by t...

William Huntington Volume 5 part 2 to Volume 7
by David Clarke and William Huntington S S
This book is the first serious attempt to discuss the development and acceptance of Calvinism as a movement which affected all Europe and thereby puts the life of John Calvin and earlier literature, which has concentrated on the affects of Calvinism at one time or in one country, into context. The aim of this generic synthesis is to provide a basic and essential guide for teachers and Macmillan expects it to become a classic text for this purpose.
