About this product
Product Information
Professor Bouwsma studies the theologian John Calvin as a way to bring into focus the cultural, psychological, and intellectual problems of the sixteenth century. He argues that Calvin represents an historical moment of transition from traditional modes of philosophical and religious thought to modern ones. Beginning with a description of the traditional culture of Calvin's time, and of the moralism which exerted such a powerful hold over medieval thought, he goes on to identify the crucial issue in this transition as the ability of a culture to manage the anxiety of existence. Medieval society, by creating simplified polarities such as Good and Evil, he argues, was conspicuously successful in performing this task. Finally Bouwsma provides a critical analysis of this medieval philosophy, and explains the significance of Calvin's concept of a "New Order" in providing an ethical system which no longer relied upon these established views of the world.

"A fresh and insightful exploration of John Calvin's thought, viewedwithin the context of sixteenth-century intellectual, psychological, cultural,and religious forces."--Dave Rightmire, Asbury College, "An impressive contribution to our understanding of Calvin and ourunderstanding of ourselves from one who is thoroughly acquainted with Calvin'sInstitutes, commentaries, sermons, treatises, and letters."--Eternity, "An intellectual tour de force. We will never be able to think of Calvin the man in the same way again."--St. Petersburg Times, "By intense reading in Calvin's work [Bouwsma] has come up with a twentieth-century psychological scheme, giving a genuinely new insight into the man and into the sixteenth century as a whole."--The New York Times Book Review, "A clear and brilliantly argued analysis of Calvin's place insixteenth-century European intellectual history, focusing on his thought ratherthan his life."--Library Journal, "A fresh and insightful exploration of John Calvin's thought, viewed within the context of sixteenth-century intellectual, psychological, cultural, and religious forces."--Dave Rightmire, Asbury College, "W.Bouwsma's John Calvin offers an excellent view inside the life and the times of one of histories most complex and intriguing minds. An excellent resource for intellectual, religious, and cultural historians; first rate."--James LeSueur, University of LaVerne "A wonderful book. Brings freshinsights not only to our understanding of Calvin's life, but also to our understanding of the intellectual climate of early modern Europe."--David Koeller, Phillips University, "A richly wise, and splendidly engaging portrayal of a man whose doctrines and aspirations--and whose anxieties and fears--shaped, and perhaps are still shaping, the modern world."--Los Angeles Times Book Review, "This is must reading for anyone interested in the Reformation period as awhole or Calvin in particular. All future studies on Calvin should interactwith this work."--Trinity Journal, "At last someone has rescued the great reformer of Geneva from the stony grayness to which he had been so wrongly consigned and has drawn an animated picture of a passionate and complex man."--Harvey Cox, Harvard Divinity School, "An impressive contribution to our understanding of Calvin and our understanding of ourselves from one who is thoroughly acquainted with Calvin's Institutes, commentaries, sermons, treatises, and letters."--Eternity, "An intellectual tour de force. We will never be able to think of Calvinthe man in the same way again."--St. Petersburg Times, "This is must reading for anyone interested in the Reformation period as a whole or Calvin in particular. All future studies on Calvin should interact with this work."--Trinity Journal, "A study that Calvin scholars have been waiting for....It provides a 'disclosure model' of Calvin's personality and his work that will fertilize future studies....A booming success."--Sixteenth Century Journal, "A clear and brilliantly argued analysis of Calvin's place in sixteenth-century European intellectual history, focusing on his thought rather than his life."--Library Journal, 'There is a surprising and in many ways unexpected Calvin in the pages of this absorbing biography and intellectual study...fine study...Bousma's supremely readable work...brings to Calvin aprofound intellectual understanding and avital human sympathysocial history society-autumn 1989'a fascinating book ... perceptive in the complex, and indeed risky, quest for the secrets of the heart of so controlled and guarded a person as Calvin. It is also fearlessly frank ... the man behind these institutions has been portrayed here with a pen both sharp and subtle.' Times Literary Supplement' A genuinely new insight into the man and into the sixteenth century as a whole.' John M. Todd, The New York Times Book Review'Bouwsma's portrait proves most valuable. Because, finally, it's the portrait of an intellectual sleepwalker of a man who thought he was doing one thing, like upholding authority, and ended up doing quite the opposite, like inspiring revolution.' San Francisco Chronicle Review'There is a surprising and in many ways unexpected Calvin in the pages of this absorbing biography and intellectual study ... Bouwsma's supremely readable work ... brings to Calvin a profound intellectual understanding and a vital human sympathy.' Michael Mullett, University of Lancaster, Social History Society'he draws attention to themes in Calvin easily overlooked'Paul Helm, The Banner of Truth'This book breaks new ground for students of Calvin and Calvinism ... this portrait of Calvin is not only enriching in itself but will encourage students of his teaching to a new care in its interpretation' Journal of Theological Studies'the clarity of its organization and the vigour of its style offer a welcome contrast to the labyrinthine prose of so many studies that take their philosophical pretensions too seriously ... Bouwsma has mastered the rhetoric he praises.'Kenneth J.E. Graham, University of California, Berkeley. Renaissance Studies'a formidably learned book ... a remarkable intellectual portrait ... By listening to Calvin's language and his patterns of argument across the broad range of his writings, he has constructed a beautifully organised, majestic and exciting study of the first rank in Calvin scholarship.'M. Greengrass, University of Sheffield, Journal of Ecclesiastical History'There is much here to interest and challenge. It is an exciting and novel exploration of a person who did not always say the same thing, who was eclectic in the influences he absorbed...Bouwsma provides the reader with a stimulating and refreshing study'.Francis M. Higman, English Historical Review, Oct 1991.'Bouwsma's experience of the period makes him an impressive guide ... there is much here to interest and challenge ... It is an exciting and novel exploration of a person who did not always say the same thing ... Bouwsma provides the reader with a stimulating and refreshing study.'Francis M. Higman, Institut d'Histoire de le Réformation, Geneva, EHR Oct. 91, "By intense reading in Calvin's work [Bouwsma] has come up with atwentieth-century psychological scheme, giving a genuinely new insight into theman and into the sixteenth century as a whole."--The New York Times BookReview, "At last someone has rescued the great reformer of Geneva from the stonygrayness to which he had been so wrongly consigned and has drawn an animatedpicture of a passionate and complex man."--Harvey Cox, Harvard DivinitySchool, "A study that Calvin scholars have been waiting for....It provides a'disclosure model' of Calvin's personality and his work that will fertilizefuture studies....A booming success."--Sixteenth Century Journal, "A wonderful book.

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
