Randall C. Zachman places Calvin in conversation with theologians
such as Pascal, Kierkegaard, Ezra the Scribe, Julian of Norwich and
Karl Barth, and attends to themes in Calvin's theology which are
often overlooked. Zachman draws out Calvin's use of astronomy and
great concern to see ourselves in comparison to the immensity of
the universe, acknowledging in wonder and awe our nothingness
before God. Throughout, Zachman presents a Calvin who seeks a route
out of self-deception to self-knowledge, though Kierkegaard shows
that it is love, and not judgment, that most deeply reveals us to
ourselves. The book discusses Calvin's understanding of the
election of the Jews and their relationship to God, and further
reconsiders Calvin's understanding of judgment and how the call to
love our neighbour is undermined by the formation of alliances.
