Calvin, Participation, and the Gift : The Activity of Belivers in Union with Christ

---

Outline: The author engages in this discussion by the examining the development, scope, and metaphysics of Calvin's theology of 'participation in Christ'. He argues that Calvin's theology of 'participation of Christ'. The author argues that Calvin's theology of 'participation' emerges from a soteriology which affirms a differentiated union of God and humanity in creation and redemption. Through Calvin's electic appropriation of biblical and catholic sources, he develops a wide-ranging and emphatic doctrine of participation. In prayer, the sacraments, and obedience to the law, believers are incorporated into the Triune life: as believers are made one with Christ by faith, the Father reveals himself as generous by granting them his free pardon, and the Spirit empowers them for lives of active gratitude in the church and the world. The result of the authors' work is a portrait of Calvin's trinitian soteriology that eludes categories. Neither a Thomist, nor a nominalist, nor a Palamite thinker, Calvin offers a wide-ranging vision of salvation as participation in God through Christ by the spirit, a 'deification' which nonetheless maintains the distinction between Creator and creature.
