Uncovering Calvin’s God
«
Calvin's doctrine of predestination has long received much attention and just as much misinterpretation. Forrest H. Buckner proves that close reading of Calvin's texts and careful listening to his sermons brings new perspectives on this topic and helps to better understand the reformer. This book is an important contribution to Calvin research and to theology that wants to be relevant for the church.

This is a carefully researched and instructive study on a topic of central importance in Calvin’s thought. In clear and engaging prose, Buckner reliably guides readers into the heart of Calvin’s teaching about predestination, the love of God, and God’s disposition toward humanity, and he does so with admirable scholarly fairness and pastoral sensitivity.

Buckner’s published dissertation is readable, well-documented, and pastoral in tone. The reader will find in the author a sympathetic listener who is willing to work through the hard questions and provide twenty-first-century guidance based upon the teachings of an earlier pastor.
