Summaries and Reviews
Amazon.com description: Product Description: Addressing John Calvinâs perspective of the human form as expressed in his writings and sermons, this book places Calvin in the context of his education and culture, documenting his metaphorical approach to the body as the âprison of the soul.â Contemporaneous medical theories are explained, and Calvin's own bodily health is discussed along with his attitude toward death, dying, and burial. Examining his teaching on the image of God in humankindâwith respect to both gendersâchapters delve into Calvinâs opinions on marriage, childbirth, sexuality, nakedness, and shame. For the present day, this study reveals surprising as well as disappointing views that the influential theologian held, culminating with a comprehensive appraisal of this historical personality.
