John Calvin's Movement from the Bible to Theology and Practice

John Calvin's Movement from the Bible to Theology and Practice

  • Semi-Technical
  • Brian C. Dennert

How do we move from the Bible to formulating theology? This article believes that a study of good examples may help to prevent the exercise from becoming purely theoretical. The author uses John Calvin to present an example of how one person made such a move. In particular he uses Calvin’s implicit approach to church leadership and in particular church government. This article wants to understand how Calvin moved from the Bible to practice and then compares it to contemporary models.
