The Theology of John Calvin

901.361 - 933.537 Nathan W. Bingham

He's concerned that people will accept the Word and the Word will make a difference in their lives. Let me look at one other theological issue for Calvin, and that's the matter of faith. Faith, too, was an area where Calvin wanted to stress the importance of certainty and Calvin wanted to say to his people, faith is knowledge. In order to believe, you have to know something.
