One of my projects this year has been dubbed the Calvin Quincentenary Project. I’ve been listening to the podcasts from PTS, but haven’t kept up to date with their the listening/reading through the Institutes. And I’ve finally ordered a biography of Calvin, having been disappointed in my searches at the local used bookstores.
Right now I’m in the midst of the chapter on Calvin in The Child in Christian Thought
The child in Christian thought sounds like an interesting book — gonna add it to my wish list.
It is very interesting, unraveling the interactions of history, philosophy, and theology in the way Christians understood children and their place in the kingdom.
