What Can We Gain From Calvin Today?

One answer comes from Doug Wilson, Pastor of Christ Church, Idaho:

We gain, he says, "His rock solid, absolute confidence in the Bible."

He goes on to say that Calvin is not like "a modern day inerrantist who says the Bible is technically true but is still somehow apologetic over the fact. He doesn't have his hat in his hand, trying to persuade someone to please accept him even though he believes the Bible."

"The Bible is not something that takes a test from the world. The Bible is, in Calvin, that which administers the test to the world."

    Calvin was certainly a staunch defender of God's Word. I like his one quote where John Calvin said, "A dog barks when his master is attacked. I would be a coward if I saw that God's truth is attacked and yet would remain silent."
