The Richness of the Familial Aspect of Salvation
This is a study of divine adoption in the confessions of the Reformation Period. The concept of adoption is based on the Pauline huiothesia describing the entire plan of salvation by God ranging from predestination to consummation. Because of this broad feature, the concept has the potential to be an underlying theme, presenting a theological framework into which the concept is woven. However, in the past adoption has as a whole unfortunately been neglected or incorrectly treated throughout church history. This work, written as a doctoral dissertation, is to delve into the richness of the gospel, exploring its familial aspect described in the Reformed confessions in the 16th and 17th centuries. |
