Reviews
From the reviews:
"Balserak's study is important because he gives, compared with what was written in the past, a clear image of the multiform importance of God's accommodation for Calvin." (Wulfert de Greef, calvijnstudie.nl)
"Ce livre solide, intelligent, clair est une contribution importante aux études sur Calvin, mais aussi à une réflexion sur la révélation. L'érudition qu'il déploie sans lourdeur rend service à la pensée théologique." (André Gounelle, in Études Théologiques et Réligieuses 2007/4)
"The present study is a revision of the author’s doctoral thesis completed under David F. Wright (University of Edinburgh), and is the first monograph-length treatment of Calvin’s understanding of divine accommodation. … Balserak’s analysis of Calvin’s understanding of accommodation is an important contribution to Calvin studies. … Balserak’s work should prove of value to both students and scholars of Calvin who are seeking a clear and concise presentation of the topic." (John T. Slotemaker, Sixteenth Century Journal, Vol. XXXIX (2), 2008)
