520 |a This article considers Calvin's portrayal of David as a paradigm for the faith of sixteenth-century Christians and illuminates a development in Calvin's doctrine of faith that his exegesis of the Psalms occasioned. Calvin focuses on the historical person, David, and downplays David's prophetic status. Faith, as depicted in light of David's example and under these circumstances, is a kind of perception that corrects the noetic effect of sin and enables the believer both to penetrate to a small degree the mysteries of God's providence and to benefit from affliction. Calvin's retrieval of David reflects his assumption of the unity of the covenants and also certain tensions inherent in this notion. Yet Calvin appears to ignore the problematic aspects that his formulation poses for the paradigmatic status of David's faith and to assert instead the need for a faith just like David's by underscoring the similarity between the situation in which David found himself and the sixteenth century.
