John Calvin on God’s Providence. JCCP Part 1/3
Introducing John Calvin On God’s Providence
John Calvin has long been associated with the doctrine of predestination so much so his exposition of the doctrine of God’s providence is often overlooked. Yet the latter is a pervasive theme in many of his writings and in his ministry as a pastor. In this lecture/talk, you will be introduced to a brief history of his exposition of this important doctrine, its development within his magnum opus (Institutes of the Christian Religion), and his treatment of the subject in Chapters 16-18 of Book 1 of the 1559 final edition of the Institutes. As shall be evident, while he was concerned to refute his opponents’ erroneous views of God’s providence, he was even more concerned that their views arose from a defective view of God, as revealed in Scripture.
