John Calvin's Ideas

This is a major study of the theological thought of John Calvin which examines his central theological ideas through a philosophical lens looking at issues in Metaphysics Epistemology and Ethics. The study the first of its kind is concerned with how Calvin actually uses philosophical ideas in his work as a theologian and biblical commentator. The book also includes a careful examination of those ideas of Calvin to which the Reformed Epistemologists appeal to find grounds and precedent for their development of `Reformed Epistemology'' notably the sensus divinitatis and the internal testimony of the Holy Spirit.
