Charles Partee. P. C. Rossin Professor of Church History at Pittsburgh Theological Seminary. Author of The Theology of John Calvin and a long-standing voice on Calvin's central doctrine.
Partee examines the question of Calvin's epistemology, arguing that the famous opening of the Institutes on the knowledge of God and self is better treated as theological prolegomena than as a strictly philosophical theory of knowledge.
Partee returns to the long debate over a central dogma in Calvin's theology, questioning the older consensus that the absolute sovereignty of God and double predestination form the heart of Calvin's thought and weighing the textual evidence.
