Reviews

`Review from previous edition we are deeply indebted to Paul Helm for this contribution, not only because of the patient research and reflection, but also because he provides Calvin's thought with a clearly-drawn philosophical profile and provides a stimulus for further detailed effort.' Journal of Religious Studies `if you read Helm patiently you will be richly rewarded with profound insights into God and how He can be known ... For Calvin scholars, this is certainly a must-have .' Australian Presbyterian `Professor Helm has put us all in his debt by doing some ground-breaking work on the philosophical and scholastic sources of some of Calvin's ideas.' Australian Presbyterian


The book offers both a creative contribution to Calvin studies, and a wonderfully spirited engagement with contemporary philosophy of religion in the analytic tradition. Ben Myers, Faith and Theology Helm's book is unique. As far as I know there is nothing like it. For that reason alone, anyone interested in the thought of John Calvin must include it in his library. Reformation21 - The Online Magazine of the Alliance of Confessing Evangelicals An immensely helpful book ... Helm's book is unique. As far as I know there is nothing like it. For that reason alone, anyone interested in the thought of John Calvin must include it in his library ... No one who reads it will have read anything quite like it before. Scott Oliphint, Westminster Theological Journal
