PETER A LILLBACK

In the debate over Calvin’s relationship to covenant theology, Peter Lillback offers fresh in-depth scholarship and answers many of the tensions between Calvin’s system of theology and traditional covenant theology. Through careful examination of primary sources, Lillback builds a large store of evidence for Calvin’s covenant thought. He completely refutes popular claims that predestination and covenant theology were considered incompatible in the early Reformed tradition, that the theologies of Zurich and Geneva were fundamentally different, and that Calvin’s system left no room for a covenant understanding of theology.
