Title: What pure eyes could see
First published: 1999
Description: "The doctrine of justification by faith is the defining characteristic of the reforming theology of John Calvin. In What Pure Eyes Could See, Barbara Pitkin examines Calvin's exegetical labors and their contribution to his understanding of faith.

Through detailed analysis of Calvin's interpretation of selected biblical passages, this study traces the evolution of Calvin's thought in the various Latin editions of the Institutes and establishes the exegetical underpinnings of his view of faith."--BOOK JACKET.
