Author Description

While John Calvin is particularly known for his doctrinal writings, "Spirituality and Social Ethics in Calvin" sheds light on how Calvin integrated the inner spiritual life with objective theological statements. Avoiding the false dichotomy between these two themes, Chung analyzes the reformer's thought from a pneumatalogical perspective, focusing on the Spirit in creation, the Trinity, Christology, ecclesiology, gospel and law, and socio-political ethics. This is a highly interdisciplinary and hermeneutical book, which contributes to the ongoing ecumenical debate of spirituality.
