With the growing rediscovery of our Reformation heritage, studies in John Calvin have thrown new light upon almost every aspect of his thought except that which is the heart of his theology - the doctrine of Christ's work. The present volume has a double interest. It is a fresh study in Calvin's development of the work of Christ, with special reference to his exegetical writings. It is also a relevant critique of one of the more familiar landmarks of traditional theology - the formula of the three offices of Christ as prophet, priest, and king. Since contemporary theologians such as Emil Brunner are returning to this formula, the present study is provocative and timely. This "journey into the past is also a journey through the present."

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The revival of interest in the Protestant Reformation in the mid-twentieth century was marked by several studies of John Calvin. J.F. Jansen, however, noted that these had shed new light on almost every aspect of his thought except that which lies at the heart of his theology - the doctrine of Christ's work.In Calvin's Doctrine of the Work of Christ, Jansen corrects this omission, providing a fresh study of Calvin's work in this area with special reference to his exegetical writings. Besides critiquing Calvin's development of the doctrine, he also examines the traditional theological formula of the three offices of Christ as prophet, priest and king. Reacting against the return to this formula by contemporary theologians such as Emil Brunner, he shows that an alternative conception of Christ's work is possible. A seminal re-evaluation of Calvin's Christology focussing on his doctrine of Christ's work. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
