The book illuminates Calvin's thought by placing it in the context
of the theological and exegetical traditions - ancient, medieval,
and contemporary - that formed it and contributed to its particular
texture. Steinmetz addresses a range of issues almost as wide as
the Reformation itself, including the knowledge of God, the problem
of iconoclasm, the doctrines of justification and predestination,
and the role of the state and the civil magistrate. Along the way,
Steinmetz also clarifies the substance of Calvin's quarrels with
Lutherans, Catholics, Anabaptists, and assorted radicals from
Ochino to Sozzini. For the new edition he has added a new Preface
and four new chapters based on recent published and unpublished
essays. An accessible yet authoritative general introduction to
Calvin's thought, Calvin in Context engages a much wider range of
primary sources than the standard introductions. It provides a
context for understanding Calvin not from secondary literature
about the later middle ages and Renaissance, but from the writings
of Calvin's own contemporaries and the rich sources from which they
drew.
