The coherence of this volume arises from the way in which John Calvin serves as the centering focus of various disciplines and scholarly approaches which touch on the life of the church. Its five sections convey the range of interests among the contributors: Calvin and his times, theology, ecclesiology, interpretation of Holy Scripture, and worship and preaching.
Essays originally presented during the first four Colloquia at conferences, held from 1982 to 1988 at Davidson College, North Carolina.
