The Formal Dialectical Rationalism of Calvin
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 17 September 2010
Extract
What William Pierson Merrill recently said of the Creed of the Presbyterian Church, i.e., that it is “comprehensive,” is true also of the Institutes of Calvin: the work is an inclusive document; it comprehends varying, even conflicting views. Calvin endeavors to press “life and reality” into a system of harmonious thought. In its sixth edition of the Institutes the Presbyterian Board of Publication rightly affirms, that Calvin's great natural abilities, his profound erudition, his well-balanced and discriminating judgment … eminently fitted him to prepare such a work, in which the doctrines of the Gospel are so clearly developed and harmonized.
