Perspicuous Brevity: Calvin on the exposition of the Scripture

Publication at Protestant Theological Faculty |
2009

Abstract

The demand for lucid brevity in the exposition of the Scripture is one of Calvin?s popular dicta. The article surveys two texts where Calvin explains his concept of exegesis at more length and tries to show these seemingly just practical concerns as integral part of the theological thinking of the Swiss reformer.
