'The Identity and the Life of the Church' is a study of John
Calvin's ecclesiology that argues that Calvin's idea of the twofold
identity of the Church - its spiritual identity as the body of
Christ and its functional identity as the mother of all believers -
is closely related to his understanding of Christian identity and
life, which are initiated and maintained by the grace of the triune
God. The anthropological basis of Calvin's idea of the Church has
not been examined fully, even though Calvin presents the important
concepts of his ecclesiology in the light of his anthropological
ideas. Yosep Kim provides an overall evaluation of Calvin's
ecclesiology, arguing that it is ultimately Calvin's pastoral
concern for the Christian and the Church under affliction that
governs his theological understanding of the Church and shapes his
proposals for establishing and sustaining the life of the Church in
the world.
