AB - Some people misread John Calvin, a reformer and theologian, as pessimistic
just because he regards human as totally depraved. Calvin declares about total
corruption of human after the Fall, but he is not always pessimistic toward
human cultures or academic accomplishments. People are different from beasts
because God continues to give them distinguished reason and wisdom. Remnants
of God’s image even after the Fall still dignify human existence. Calvin willingly
recognizes the importance of academic properties of his time outside theology
such as philosophy, mathematics and law: he actively engages them for
his theological works. He also cherishes all kinds of people because of inherent
images of God within. He also keeps a consistent and holistic perspective of Christian
life on earth with balanced hope of the future.
