Calvin's Institutes: April 4

from John Calvin's Institutes in a Year

Podcast DescriptionIn this episode, we confront the heart of redemption. Athenagoras exposes how pagans deified flawed humans while accusing Christians of atheism, then defends the pure moral life of believers against slander. Augustine marvels that Platonic writings echoed the eternal Word of John’s Gospel yet lacked the incarnate Word who brings grace to the humble. Calvin unfolds how Christ as Redeemer reconciles God’s justice and mercy through his death, showing that salvation is found only in him. These voices from the second, fourth, and sixteenth centuries converge on one reality: true life, forgiveness, and union with God come solely through the cross and resurrection of Christ.Readings: Athenagoras of Athens A Plea for the Christians Chapters 30–32Augustine of Hippo The Confessions Book 7, Chapter 9 (Section 13)John Calvin Institutes of the Christian Religion Book 2, Chapter 16 — How Christ Performed the Office of Redeemer in Procuring Our Salvation (Sections 1–4)Explore the Project: https://throughthechurchfathers.com https://patristicpathways.com https://cmiinstitute.com#ChurchFathers #Athenagoras #Augustine #Calvin #Redemption #Logos #Incarnation #Cross #Grace #ChristianTheology
