Motif of Stranger in Calvin's Old Testament Commentaries, The
Outline: John Calvin was a French refugee who ended up in Geneva and all of his life he felt himself a stranger in this city. Because of this, he had particular eye for those passages where the Bible speaks about 'stranger'. The author gives an analysis of Calvin's commentary on the Old Testament passages and deals with the question to what extent Calvin's personal experience influenced his exegesis. This book contributes to the newer aspects in Calvin-research dealing more with his commentaries than with the Institutes. The author demonstrates from the sources that biography and theology are also for Calvin closely bound together and sometimes even intertwined.
