ABSTRACT

This article begin with introduction of Calvin’s Christian social and economic ethics. These kinds of ethics are of great importance both to the church and the society at large. Particularly in the churches, one must learn to avoid discrimination by sex, race, or social class, and instead place as much value as possible on each individual. As Calvin might have put it: Each of the organs of the Holy Spirit that form the body of Christ is precious, as the Holy Spirit grants life to each part of the organism, without prejudice. This article commemorates the economic and social justice issues of Calvin’s theology, setting his ethical principal focus regarding humanitas, mutua obligatio, and aequitas. Gender discourse could be understood not only as equality between men and women, but also as problem of power and hegemony. His theological thought could be combined with Gender discourse and understood as community orientation within the context of a global economic crises.
