What reading level is The Essential Calvinism book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
, from being ungodly are made righteous. " But this emphasis on justification, though it may have been suggestive to Luther as he pon- dered over the works of Augustine, fails con- siderably of expressing what the doctrine meant to him. There is a confusing of justification with sanctification ; there is also a lacking of [52] The Theological Sources of the Institutes the idea which figures so largely in Luther's pres- entation of faith as a great spiritual experience, the human basis of justif...ication; so also with Calvin.
But with one or two obvious exceptions the likeness between the teaching of Augustine and Calvin is very plain. In fact, some theologians have preferred to pass by Calvin, and take their starting point in Augustine for the exposition of this system of evangelical theology.
Calvin was not alone in his appeal to Augustine. All the great Reformers, and Luther more than the others, looked to Augustine for authority. There were good reasons for this. A great contest was on, first between two parties in the Roman Church, then later between hostile organizations.
