Treatises Against the Anabaptists and Against the Libertines

Grand Rapids: Baker Book House, 1982. Trade Paperback. Near Fine. 5x0x8. An exceptional copy. 1982 Trade Paperback. 336 pp. In "Against the Anabaptists" Calvin examines that group's rejection of infant baptism, its excommunication of members after the second admonition, its refusal to bear arms, and its withdrawal from politics and government. Calvin concludes by treating the doctrines of the incarnation and of the soul's state after death. Calvin's treatise "Against the Libertines" incisively refutes that group's pantheistic determinism, Gnostic christology, libertine view of Christian libery, and denial of a future resurrection.
