Most Calvin scholars have seen a dialectical opposition between God and humanity as fundamental to Calvin's thought. Butin's study upsets this understanding by addressing Calvin's views on the doctrine of the Trinity and his understanding of the divine-human relationship. He shows that Calvin consistently appealed to the Trinity as the basis, pattern, and dynamic of that relationship.
How does John Calvin understand and depict the relationship of God with humanity? Until this study, the most influential readings of Calvin have tended to assume a dialectical divine-human opposition as fundamental to his thought. In this fresh consideration of Calvin''s Christian vision his consistent and pervasive appeal to the Trinity in understanding the divine-human relationship is delineated and imaginatively rendered. Tracing the trinitarian theme in its many dimensions throughout the reformer''s work, Philip Butin offers a revised look at the vital role of the Trinity in Calvin''s thought, in the process recovering Calvin as a significant historical source for contemporary trinitarian theological reflection.
