| Description: |
In this thorough investigation of Calvinist doctrine, John Leith defines the Reformer's teaching on Christian life in the context of his theology. He begins with a discussion of what it means to say that the purpose of Christian life is the glory of God. He then discusses Christian life in relation to four aspects of Calvinist thought: justification by faith alone; providence and predestination; history and the transhistorical; church and society.
Leith's concludign statement summarizes the importance of this book. Calvin\s doctrine of the Christian life represents a magnificent effort to give expression to what it means to have to do with the living God every moment of one's life. |
