Summary: "One of South Africa's best-known systematic theologians who focuses on Calvinist studies, Nico Vorster in this book investigates several aspects of Calvin's anthropology. He shows its relevance in addressing systemic problems that modern societies face, like human alienation, individualism, collective power abuse, systemic corruption, ecocide, and the fracturing of communities. His discussion of Calvin's anthropoklogy demonstrates that many of the modern theological anthropological challenges are in fact old questions in new disguises." -- Back cover
