Topic 8: The Apostles’ and Nicene Creeds
The bibliography grounds the reader in the early Christian creeds through J.N.D. Kelly’s authoritative Early Christian Creeds and Calvin’s account of the Mediator’s work (Institutes II.16). Bullinger’s Decades, Barth’s Credo and Dogmatics in Outline, Emil Brunner’s I Believe in the Living God, and T.F. Torrance’s Trinitarian Faith provide the Reformed confessional and dogmatic context.
Topic 10: Preaching Jesus Christ: Karl Barth and the Christian Story
Readings focus on Barth’s christological sections in the Church Dogmatics: the chapters titled “The Judge Judged in Our Place,” “The Royal Man,” and “The Light of Life” from CD IV as the theological center of preaching. Secondary readings draw on Hans Frei, Ronald Thiemann, and Thomas Torrance for the narrative and proclamatory dimensions of christocentric preaching.
Peter Martyr Library: Dialogue on the Two Natures in Christ
In Vermigli’s last work, he uses a dialogue to discuss the disagreement among Christians about the Eucharist and Christ’s presence in the Lord’s Supper. Hardback, $40.00. ISBN 9780940474338.

Christ’s Ministry and the Church
Philip W. Butin draws on his Duke dissertation on Calvin’s Trinity to argue that the economic perichoresis of Son and Spirit binds Christ’s threefold office to the ministry of the whole people of God, equipping the church to face the challenges of secularization and pluralism.
The Acts of God and the Humanity of Christ
E. David Willis honors the memory of John Leith and works from a representative passage in Institutes 1.5.9 to examine the conjunction between acts attributed to God and their social consequences, addressing what he calls an epistemological docetism in current theology.
The Trinity in Calvin’s Theology
Thomas F. Torrance traces the close affinity between Gregory of Nazianzen and Calvin on the doctrine of the Holy Trinity, arguing that Calvin’s teaching draws more deeply on Gregory and Athanasius than on Augustine and forms a bridge in Christian doctrine between East and West.
