Today’s Reading of Calvin’s Theology

Hermeneutical Difficulties Deriving From the Differences and Similarities of Times

Summary/Abstract: We need to mention the seemingly final conclusion of Calvin research that there is no one hermeneutical key or motif that will safeguard correct understanding of him. Certainly there are half truths encapsulated in these trends: the orthodox reading was trying to solve the problem of God’s sovereignty through the doctrine of God and predestination; the Barthians through their Christological interpretation; and we also have the pneumatological reading that called Calvin the theologian of the Holy Spirit. Still one cannot find an all-encompassing thread by which we could string Calvin’s theology. This gives us hope that Calvin will remain such a door in the future for whose understanding we will have to try many keys – and for that very reason he has the potential to be our partner in contemporary discussions for long, long time. The historical effects of his theology so wide that even our contemporary thinkers may get inspiration from it.
