| Summary: | Stephen Edmondson articulates a coherent Christology from Calvin's commentaries and his Institutes. He argues that, through the medium of Scripture's history, Calvin, the biblical humanist, renders a Christology that seeks to capture both the breadth of God's multifaceted grace enacted in history, and the hearts of God's people formed by history. What emerges is a picture of Christ as the Mediator of God's covenant through his threefold office of priest, king and prophet. With Christ's work as the pivot on which Calvin's Christology turns, Christ's person becomes the goal to which it drives: for Christ mediates our union with God only through union with himself. This is the first significant volume to explore Calvin's Christology in several decades. It clarifies an important but perplexing subject in Calvin studies through its focus on Christ's work in history and allows Calvin a voice in the current theological conversation about Christology. Christ as mediator. Stancaro and the traditional doctrine of the mediator -- Calvin's response to Stancaro -- Christ and the covenant history. The covenant history -- Christ in history -- The gospel history -- Christ as priest. The sacerdotal office in the gospel commentaries -- Christ's sacerdotal office in the Institutes -- Christ as king. Christ's royal office in the gospel commentaries -- Christ's royal office in the Institutes -- The eternity of Christ's kingdom -- Christology in the Institutes -- Christ as prophet. Christ's prophetic office in the gospel commentaries -- Christ's prophetic office in the Institutes -- Christ as the object of faith -- The person of the mediator.
