Did Calvin Hold to the Doctrine of Limited Atonement?

Dr. Roger Nicole (link to theopedia entry) explains that Calvin did in this interesting article (link). He's a visiting professor Reformed Theological Seminary. He's identified as an expert (and his work recommend) on Amyraut by Prof. John Frame (link).

  1. Turretinfan,

    Is Roger Nicole a supporter of egalitarianism (as opposed to complementarianism)? i think he is. When I went to the theopedia link you provided, I found the following article available from the website of "Christians for Biblical Equality" (CBE).

  2. Albert,

    Based on reading the article you provided, I'd be inclined to agree with you, and to take issue with Prof. Nicole on that point.

    I'm sure it wouldn't be the only point at which I'd take issue with him.

    By posting a link to his article on Calvin, I don't mean to endorse anything else he's written, or any other view he's advocated.

4. Please be concise. The comment box is not your blog. Your blog is your blog. If you have a really long comment, post it on your blog and post a short summary of it here.

5. Please don't just spam. It's one thing to be concise, it's another thing to simply use the comment box to advertise.

6. Please note, by commenting here, you are relinquishing your (C) in your comments to me.

7. Remember that you will give an account on judgment day for your words, including those typed in comment boxes. Try to write so you will not be ashamed if it is read back before the entire world.

9. Don't post as "Anonymous." If you are going to post anonymously, at least use some kind of recognizable "handle," so we can tell you apart from all the other anonymous folks. (This is moot at the moment, since recent abuse has forced me to turn off "anonymous" commenting.)
