| Résumé : | This work makes three important contributions to Calvin studies and, more generally, adds to the growing literature on anthropology in the Middle Ages, Renaissance, and Reformation. First, it challenges the prevalent bias toward focusing on Calvin's doctrine of God to the neglect of his doctrine of humankind. Second, it provides an original and provocative interpretation of the overall structure of Calvin's anthropology. And third, Engel's analysis of specific issues (imago dei, reason and faith, the will, immortality and resurrection) presents helpful insights into those areas of Calvin's thought which remain controversial. Thorough and exacting in its scholarship, John Calvin's Perspectival Anthropology succeeds T.F. Torrance's Calvin's Doctrine of Man as the second full-length examination of Calvin's anthropology. |
