Huijgen, Arnold
Divine Accomodation in John Calvin's Theology

Analysis and Assessment.

Huijgen analyzes and evaluates the concept of divine accommodation in the theology of John Calvin. Accommodation means that God adapts His revelation in the human comprehension. Calvin's terminology of the concept of divine accommodation was likely influenced by Erasmus, while its content themes were dominated by the theology of the church fathers. The author argues that Calvin's concept of divine accommodation can be described within two aspects: education and revelation. 416 Seiten, gebunden (Reformed Historical Theology; Vol. 16/Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht 2011) Archivexemplarstempel auf Kopfschnitt, leichte Lagerspuren/Archival copy stamp on top edge, minor shelfwear
