"""After reading this well argued and meticulously researched publication by Nico Vorster I am more than ever convinced of the incalculable value of Calvin's theological inheritance to the recent modern theological debate. This magisterial, lucid exposition of Calvin's theological Anthropology shows a prodigious intellect, indefatigably processing oceans of text and research literature to present a powerful, provocative stimulus and reliable contribution to the recent debate. Nico Vorster's theological analysis is crisp, logical, and a reliable source of research for academic scholars as well as students. He thoroughly articulates the facts, questions, and perspectives of different scholars to present his suggestions and proposals."" --Jan du Rand, North-West University ""As one of South Africa's best-known systematic theologians who focuses on Calvinist studies, Nico Vorster in this book investigates several aspects of Calvin's anthropology. He shows its relevance in addressing systemic problems that modern societies face, like human alienation, individualism, collective power abuse, systemic corruption, ecocide, and the fracturing of communities. His discussion of Calvin's anthropology demonstrates that many of the modern theological anthropological challenges are in fact old questions in new disguises."" --Marius Nel, North-West University"
