I didn't intend to read two Calvin-based dissertations back-to-back, but that is what I did. This one is clear and concise. Put simply, what did Calvin have to say about Christ's atonement? Calvin discussed Christ as prophet, priest, and king. Calvin discussed Christ's work as second Adam, our merit, a sacrifice, our legal substitute, an example, and as victor. Devote a chapter to each, and voila, you've got a PhD in historical theology.
Okay, maybe it's not that easy, but it sure reads well. Best of all, you can use the work as an index of Calvin's discussion of these various loci of Christ's work, which I plan to do.
