Description based upon print version of record. LUTHER AND CALVIN ON GRIEF AND LAMENT: Life-Experience and Biblical Text; Copyright Page; Dedication; Table of Contents; Foreword; Preface; Abbreviations; Chapter 1; Chapter 2; Chapter 3; Chapter 4; Chapter 5; Chapter 6; Chapter 7; Bibliography; Author Index; Scripture Index; Subject Index This book examines Luther and Calvin on grief and lament and discovers through a close reading of letters, commentaries, and sermons that the reformers actually encourage righteous lament in times of pain and desolation. This means that the feeling of lament stems from a pure heart and is disposed to rest in God's unfailing love, even at such times. It concludes with some pastoral insights gleaned from the reformers' writing. Overturns the belief that Calvin's rigorous arguments for providence and life after death essentially prevent any further consideration of lament in theology.
