The Human Soul and Eternal Life in Calvin’s First Theological Work

Summary/Abstract: The present study examines the implications of Calvin’s composing his first theological treatise entitled Living with Christ (Vivere apud Christum), later known as The wakefulness of the souls (Psychopannychia). Although the composition itself does not reveal much of the author’s first-hand experiences concerning those who in his time held the doctrine of soul sleep or death and resurrection of the soul, it becomes obvious that he definitely intended to distance himself from such views. In Calvin’s concept the soul neither ‘sleeps’, i.e. does not subsist in some unconscious state between the person’s death and the final judgment, nor dies and resurrects together with the body at the end of times, but lives consciously together with Christ.
