How did John Calvin understand and depict God’s relationship with humanity? Influential readings of Calvin have seen a dialectical divine-human opposition as fundamental to his thought. As a result, the importance of the doctrine of the Trinity in his understanding of the divine-human relationship has been largely overlooked. In this fresh consideration of Calvin’s Christian vision, however, Philip Butin demonstrates Calvin’s consistent and pervasive appeal to the Trinity as the basis, pattern, and dynamic of God’s relationship with humanity. Butin examines the historical background, controversial context, and distinctive features of Calvin’s Trinity doctrine. He then explores the trinitarian character of Calvin’s doctrines concerning revelation, redemption, and human response to God. Finally, his consideration of Calvin’s doctrines of the church, baptism, and the eucharist suggests the contextuality, comprehensiveness, and coherence of Calvin’s trinitarian vision.
