Text of Note

This thesis observes John Calvin's understanding of the mediatorial office of Jesus Christ, and the mediation theologies of Isaac Ambrose, Thomas Goodwin, John Owen, Francis Turretin, Jonathan Edwards, and Abraham Kuyper. It is an attempt to present a case that the mediatorship of Jesus Christ is not a temporary office, but rather it is an office that possesses at least five functions, some of which will perpetuate into the new creation. Many contemporary theologians have critiqued the mediator-Christology of Calvin, and other figures in the Reformed tradition, by suggesting that these figures only saw Christ's office as Mediator to hold a soteriological purpose, but I argue that this traditional interpretation of Calvin and many in the Reformed tradition is an incorrect assumption. Rather, Calvin and many others in the Reformed tradition envisioned a cosmic function, a revelatory function, a soteriological function, an intercessory function, and a hypostatic-ontological function of mediation. This thesis will challenge the traditional understanding of Christological mediation that is usually truncated and limited to expiation, and seeks to explore the entirety of the mediatorial office of Jesus Christ.
