Recenzje

The Flesh of the Word explores a complex and neglected aspect of Reformed Christology in the sixteenth century. Paying careful attention to the historical context, K.J. Drake traces the development of the extra Calvinisticum in polemical exchanges with Lutherans, highlighting the contribution of the Zurich reformers to a doctrine associated with Calvin. His lucid discussion challenges older preconceptions about the alleged rationalism of early Reformed Orthodoxy and reveals why the christological debate was so important for contemporaries. This illuminating study is a significant contribution to our understanding of early Reformed theology and its long-term consequences.
