Marie Dentière

Marie Dentière (c. 1495-1561) était une théologienne, une écrivaine et une prédicatrice de rue française qui fit avancer la cause de la Réforme protestante à Genève, en Suisse. Ses écrits, controversés principalement parce qu'elle était une femme, furent réprimés pendant sa vie et largement ignorés jusqu'au XIXe siècle.

John Calvin’s Written Work

John Calvin was a prolific writer, producing a vast amount of theological work throughout his lifetime. His most famous work is undoubtedly "Institutes of the Christian Religion," a four-book theological treatise that became a cornerstone of the Protestant Reformation. In the Institutes, Calvin lays out his understanding of Christian doctrine, covering topics such as the nature of God, the human condition, and the role of the Church.

In addition to the Institutes, Calvin also produced numerous commentaries on the Bible, as well as sermons and other theological treatises. His commentaries are particularly noteworthy for their emphasis on the original languages of the Bible and their attention to historical context. Calvin believed that understanding the original languages and historical context of the Bible was essential to understanding its true meaning.

Calvin's writing was not limited to theology, however. He also wrote on topics such as politics, ethics, and education. For example, his "Institutes of the Christian Religion" includes a section on the proper role of civil government. Calvin believed that civil government had a divine mandate to maintain order and punish wrongdoing, but he also emphasized the need for rulers to be just and to protect the rights of their subjects.

Overall, John Calvin's written work is a testament to his intellect, his theological insight, and his commitment to the Reformation. His ideas continue to influence religious thought today, and his writing remains an important resource for scholars and theologians alike.

our final five solae friday before reformation day is ‘sola scriptura’, which means ‘scripture alone’. • sola scriptura; scripture alone ‘i applied all these things to myself and apollos for your benefit, brothers, that you may learn by us not to go beyond what is written, that none of you may be puffed up in favor of one against another.’ - i corinthians 4:6 - ‘the Reformation principle of sola Scriptura has to do with the sufficiency of Scripture as our supreme authority in all spiritual matters. sola Scriptura simply means that all truth necessary for our salvation and spiritual life is taught either explicitly or implicitly in Scripture. it is not a claim that all truth of every kind is found in Scripture.’ - john macarthur (‘what does sola scriptura mean?’) - scripture alone is the final authority on all matters of doctrine and the christian life. there is, simply, no other source that may be placed alongside it. men are fallible, leaders are fallible, but the word of God is perfect. let us not go ‘beyond what it written’, not when God has given us His words by which we may live our lives. we have no need to do so, and it would be a travesty, should we trade God-breathed scriptures for - source originating from man. • #sola scriptura #scripturealone #scripture #fivesolas #fivesolae #reformed #reformedtheology #reformation #martinluther #johncalvin #theologymatters #theology #christianlettering #handlettering #semperreformanda #solideogloria #stayreformingkids https://www.instagram.com/p/CkRp69oPIJu/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Scripture, Faith, the Sacraments, and the Holy Spirit in Calvin’s Institutes

The Protestant Reformation was a period of religious history marked by a great defining, debating, and divergence on what it meant to be an orthodox, faithful Christian. To this end, many theologians offered their own explanations of the fundamentals of the faith. The great reformed theologian, John Calvin (l. 1509-1564), presented in the Institutes of the Christian Religion (1536) profound elucidations of the tenets of Christianity, specifically on the topics of scripture, faith, sacraments, and the Holy Spirit.

another five solae friday!!! today’s sola is ‘Christ alone’. • solus Christus; Christ alone ‘this Jesus is the stone that was rejected by you, the builders, which has become the cornerstone. and there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.’ -acts 4:11-12 ‘salvation is only in Jesus Christ because there are two conditions that, no matter how hard we try, we can never meet. yet, they must be done if we are to be saved. the first is to satisfy the justice of God through obedience to the law. the second is to pay the price of our sins. we cannot do either, but Christ did both perfectly.’ - joel beeke (‘Christ alone’) Jesus is the only way, truth and life, and besides Him there is no way to the Father. the word of God is eminently clear that Christ alone can bring us salvation, Christ alone could and has paid the penalty for our sins, Christ alone lived the life we should have lived, Christ alone is the gate by which we must come. He is the only Mediator between God and man. there is no other way of salvation apart from union with Christ, no other name by which we must be saved. • #soluschristus #christalone #inchristalone #fivesolas #fivesolae #reformed #reformedtheology #reformation #martinluther #johncalvin #theologymatters #theology #christianlettering #handlettering #semperreformanda #solideogloria #stayreformingkids https://www.instagram.com/p/Cj--4Q8p6DP/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Dios mediante tengan buen día☕ Así que la fe es por el oír, y el oír, por la palabra de Dios. Romanos 10:17 RVR1960 "Lo que Pablo tenía en vista (...); era mostrar que dondequiera que esté la fe, Dios ya ha dado una evidencia de Su elección; y luego, que Él, al derramar Su bendición sobre el ministerio del evangelio, para iluminar la mente de los hombres por la fe, y de esta manera inducirlos a invocar Su nombre, había testificado así, que los gentiles fueron admitidos por Él de la participación de la herencia eterna."
