Description: "In three wide-ranging case studies Garcia explores how union with Christ functions in Calvin's thought. Garcia explains the way Calvin understands the apostle Paul to connect good works to eternal life in the context of union with Christ. He then turns his attention to the relationship of Christology and pneumatology in sacramental union or communion with Christ. The third study investigates the role of Christ, the Spirit, and the Eucharist in Calvin's critique of Osiander's views on justifying union with Christ."--Jacket.
