Description
Summary:The Institutes is a long and detailed essay upon the know-ledge of God, not a well-constructed and comprehensive system of theology, a kind of Reformed Summa Theologica. It was this problem of the knowledge of God which constituted the real disagreement with Rome, and in the Institutes Calvin works out from the Scriptures the Reformed doctrine of the knowledge of God to stand in opposition to the contemporary and scholastic Roman doctrine based upon the synthesis of the Scriptures and Greek philosophy. When once this is understood, the different doctrines treated in the book fall easily into their places in relation to the central theme, the knowledge of God.
