Description
Michelle Chaplin Sanchez’s groundbreaking study investigates John Calvin’s mature theological vision as presented in the 1559 edition of the Institutes of the Christian Religion. The book demonstrates how Calvin’s understanding of creation and incarnation serve as foundational concepts that resignify the entire world and its political structures.
Sanchez argues that Calvin’s theology presents a coherent framework for understanding how divine action in creation and Christ’s incarnation reshape human relationships to authority, law, and social order. The work engages with contemporary political theology while remaining grounded in careful historical analysis of Calvin’s texts and intellectual context. By examining these theological foundations, the book reveals how Calvin’s thought moves beyond traditional medieval frameworks and establishes new ways of conceptualizing the relationship between theology and politics in the early modern period.
