Description and Table of Contents

Description

Calvin's tracts on the Anabaptists and the Libertines contain some of his most significant ethical and theological reflections. In Against the Anabaptists Calvin examines that group's rejection of infant baptism, its excommunication of members after the second admonition, its refusal to bear arms, and its withdrawal from politics and government. Calvin's treatise Against the Libertines incisively refutes that group's pantheistic determinism, Gnostic Christology, libertine view of Christian liberty, and denial of a future resurrection.
