The subtitle of this volume is “Glorifying and Enjoying God Forever” and that is a good tagline on the thought of Calvin as presented here by Michael Horton. There is much, much to be enjoyed in this work. Repeatedly, and for good reason, Horton focuses on the maxim “distinction without separation” as a summary of Calvin’s position on many issues.
Horton also deals with Calvin’s emphasis on the corporate nature of Christian faith and piety, the idea of the Theatre of God, with the creature living “coram Deo”, Calvin’s understanding of proper political involvement, the role of work in the life of the Christian, the purpose of the arts, the connection between Christian liberty and justification, and much more.
This work focused on an issue that was more important than simply seeing how Calvin dealt with the Christian life. In the grand scheme of things, really, what does it matter how one man interacted with his world? Where this work offers its greatest benefit is in displaying how all Christians can weave the truth of the Gospel throughout their everyday life and how God’s word guides our every waking moment. The theology in this book was interesting. The biographical aspects were fascinating. But seeing how one can live as a Christian, a consistent life of obedience and faith, was encouraging and edifying. This book is part historical theology, part biography, part Christian living….but it is entirely pastoral. I would encourage everyone to be blessed by Dr. Horton’s work on Calvin and the Christian Life.
I received a copy of this book from the publisher to provide a review.
