Oliver D. Crisp Quotes About Christ

• It is often reported that the Five Points of Calvinism are the conceptual hard-core of Reformed thought. That is very misleading. The Five Points supposedly originate with the Synod of Dort in the early seventeenth century. Yet we find important Reformed leaders who were signatories to that documentation who don't think that limited atonement is the right way to think about the scope of Christ's saving work. How can this be? The answer that recent historical theology has thrown up is that the canons of the Synod don't require adherence to the doctrine of limited atonement.

• Sometimes we can lose the wood for the trees. Some specific issues dealt with in the book [Saving Calvinism]: the scope of election (who is saved?); the nature of the atonement (do we have to hold to penal substitution if we're Reformed?); the scope of the atonement (for whom did Christ die?); whether we have to hold to some sort of theological determinism (God ordains all that comes to pass).

• For instance, the notion of non-penal substitution. This idea, found in the work of the nineteenth century Scottish Reformed theologian John McLeod Campbell and based upon his reading of the letter to the Hebrews in particular, is that Christ offers up his life and death as a penitential act on our behalf, rather than as a punishment in our stead.

• Aquí está el giro interesante: [McLeod] Campbell llegó a sus puntos de vista a través de la lectura de Jonathan Edwards, quien sugirió en un momento de sus reflexiones sobre la expiación que Cristo podría haber ofrecido un acto perfecto de penitencia en lugar de castigo, y que esto habría sido una ofrenda aceptable adecuada para remitir nuestra pecaminosidad.

• La obra de Cristo es una especie de disuasión para nosotros, y una forma de mantener la justicia del gobierno divino de Dios sobre el mundo.

• La alternativa del universalismo hipotético, según la cual la obra de Cristo es suficiente para todos pero eficaz sólo para los elegidos, estaba viva y gozaba de buena salud en el pensamiento reformado primitivo. Además, y esto es importante para nuestros propósitos, este punto de vista no se consideraba una aberración, sino una postura legítima que podía adoptarse dentro de los límites confesionales del pensamiento reformado. Pero eso significa que, después de todo, los Cinco Puntos no son el núcleo conceptual innegociable del calvinismo.

• [John Calvin's] treatment of the person and work of Christ, of the Holy Spirit in the life of the believer, of prayer and liturgy, of the sacraments, and of the way in which we have an in-built sense of the divine that we suppress to our great sorrow - these are all immense contributions to Christian thought. The same could be said of his commentaries, which are still regularly consulted by biblical critics today.
