요약 : John Calvin's ethics are often read back through late Puritanism and seventeenth and eighteenth century Protestant scholasticism as legalistic, somber, and ascetic. However, such a vision is belied by Calvin's deep and abiding concern for the acquisition and display of proper emotional response in the lives of Christian believers. Part I of this dissertation examines the nature and function of the emotions in Calvin's theological ethics. Pre-figuring modern cognitivist views, Calvin rejects the characterization of the emotions as blind, arational forces. In so doing he displays a generally Stoic vision of the nature of the emotions—as integrally related to both belief statements (understanding) and valuations (will). However, Calvin rejects the Stoic doctrine of apatheia in favor of a call for the sanctification of the emotions. Only by sanctification of will, understanding, and emotion can believers present themselves as living sacrifice to God. To this end Calvin argues that believers can train their emotions by means of meditation and prayer.
초록/해제  
요약 : Part II is an attempt to explain Calvin's treatment of the emotions using H. Richard Niebuhr's symbol of man-the-responder. Contrary to popular conception, Calvin's theological ethics are not best understood in light of an obedience model. And despite the widespread call for its return, Calvin implicitly criticizes a move toward virtue ethics—if this is understood in the Aristotelian/Thomistic sense. Rather, the notion of responsibility is not only the most useful concept for explaining Calvin's treatment of the emotions but is the most adequate for capturing Calvin's profound sense of human contingency, as well as Calvin's radical theocentrism.
