The Judaizing Calvin

In "The Judaizing Calvin," Lutheran theologian Aegidius Hunnius (1550-1603) analyzes the writings of John Calvin, the chief teacher of the Reformed Church-and documents a persistent pattern of interpretation in Calvin which undermines the fundamental teachings of the New Testament concerning Christ Jesus. Hunnius contends that Calvin was a "judaizing" theologian-one who favored a Rabbinic Jewish interpretation of Old Testament prophecies-and that Calvin's interpretations undermined the New Testament teachings concerning the Incarnation, the doctrine of the Trinity, and the death, resurrection and ascension of Jesus. Hunnius provides the reader with a passionate and substantial refutation of Calvin's flawed interpretations, and upholds the apostolic understanding of the connection between Old Testament Messianic prophecy and the New Testament fulfillment of those prophecies.
