The Oxford Handbook of Calvin and Calvinism: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "The Oxford Handbook of Calvin and Calvinism" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

The Oxford Handbook of Calvin and Calvinism offers a comprehensive assessment of John Calvin and the tradition of Calvinism as it evolved from the sixteenth century to today. Featuring contributions from scholars who present the latest research on a pluriform religious movement that became a global faith. The volume focuses on key aspects of Calvins thought and its diverse reception in Europe, the transatlantic world, Africa, South America, and Asia.Calvins theology was from the beginning open to a wide range of interpretations and was never a static body of ideas and practices. Over the course of his life his thought evolved and deepened while retaining unresolved tensions and questions that created a legacy that was constantly evolving in different culturalcontexts. Calvinism itself is an elusive term, bringing together Christian communities that claim a shared heritage but often possess radically distinct characters. The Handbook reveals fascinating patterns of continuity and change to demonstrate how the movement claimed the name of the Genevan reformer but was moulded by an extraordinary range of religious, intellectual and historical influences, from the Enlightenment and Darwinism to indigenous African beliefs and postmodernism. In itsglobal contexts, Calvinism has been continuously reimagined and reinterpreted. This collection throws new light on the highly dynamic and fluid nature of a deeply influential form of Christianity.

Preface

This volume consists of commissioned essays intended to provide a fresh account of John Calvin and the tradition of Calvinism. In many respects the handbook explores what it means to speak about a reformer and a legacy over which he had little control. We have focused in particular on new directions in research and engaged our authors to explore unfamiliar and underexamined aspects of the Reformer and the diverse individuals and movements who have claimed his inheritance. The essays follow a largely chronological trajectory, moving from Calvin to the contemporary world.

This project has been in gestation for far longer than anticipated, and we are extremely grateful for the Job-like patience of our contributors. Sadly, along the way we lost a few authors. Particularly regrettable was a chapter on South Africa. Nevertheless, after the delays the authors were ready and willing to update their contributions to take in recent research and new ideas, and for their generous efforts we offer our thanks.

We are extremely grateful to Karen Raith at Oxford, who has guided the project from the beginning and been wonderfully encouraging at every stage.

We have also benefited from the work of two talented assistants to whom we are most grateful. Eunjin Kim, doctoral candidate at Duke Divinity School, worked hard in the early stage of the project in contacting contributors and helped in dealing with the numerous queries and logistical issues which always arise as such a volume starts to take shape. Will Tarnasky at Yale Divinity School performed herculean efforts to bring together and format the final version of the handbook, and we are deeply in his debt. Rona Johnston shared her expert editorial skills and advice to guide our work and significantly enhanced the volume.

During the time this handbook was being written and prepared we lost one of the greatest students of Calvin and Calvinism, Irena Backus. As an extraordinary scholar and teacher, she generously shared her research and compendious knowledge, and was for many of us both a mentor and a model of humane scholarship.

We dedicate this handbook to her memory.
