Book Description
Barbara Pitkin traces the way in which Calvin's exegetical labors contributed to his understanding of faith. Through detailed analysis of Calvin's interpretation of selected biblical passages, this study shows how his views evolved. Pitkin describes the gradual development of the mature Calvin's view that faith exhibits a twofold character--saving faith and providential faith--that corresponds to the twofold aspect of its object--Christ as both the incarnate and eternal Son of God.




What Pure Eyes Could See: Calvin's Doctrine of Faith in Its Exegetical Context

FROM THE PUBLISHER

The doctrine of justification by faith is the defining characteristic of the reforming theology of John Calvin. In What Pure Eyes Could See, Barbara Pitkin examines Calvin's exegetical labors and their contribution to his understanding of faith. Through detailed analysis of Calvin's interpretation of selected biblical passages, this study traces the evolution of Calvin's thought in the various Latin editions of the Institutes and establishes the exegetical underpinnings of his view of faith.
