It would be very interesting to discover what current scholarship on the Calvin/Owen theological relationship
is finding out. This is an issue that I am very interested in learning as much about as
possible. It is also very important to keep abreast with what current reformed and evangelical scholarship is saying, and more importantly to discover if modern scholarship and the historical theologians whose work is being studied, really do believe in the perspicuity of the Scriptures
without feeling the need to squeeze its teaching into some/any manmade
mould so that it produces a predetermined result. Logic is a good
servant but a very bad master when it comes to matters theological. Given that Owen was involved in drawing up the WCF, which is an Owenite rather than a Calvinistic document, and given that much reformed and evangelical scholarship is embedded within confessional church bodies, its conclusions will be very revealing.
You can discover some excellent resources at Charenton where Dr Alan C Clifford's excellent scholarly treatise on the above issue is available for study. Also, here you will find other works that explore the Calvin legacy.
You might also be interested in Calvin as a pastor; if so, please visit this site.
