Beschreibung:
Guenther H. Haas is an associate professor of Religion and Theology at Redeemer College in Ancaster, Ontario. Much of his research has focused on foundation issues in ethics, especially in the Reformed tradition of Protestantism.
Ever since Calvin wrote his Institutes of the Christian Religion, admonishing the reader that "it would not be difficult for him to determine what he ought especially to seek in Scriptures, and to what end he ought to relate its contents," scholars have endeavoured to identify a doctrine or theme at the heart of his theology. In his landmark book The Concept of Equity in Calvin's Ethics, Guenther Haas concludes that the concept of equity is the theme of central importance in Calvin's social ethic, in a similar way that union with Christ lies at the heart of his theology.
