In 1558 John Calvin held a prominent position of leadership in the Reform movement. He had written prolifically and his works had been widely circulated-and critiqued. It was at this time that he penned an answer to a critique of his position on divine providence, as articulated in the 1546 edition of the Institutes.

In some accounts, God appears as the largest, first, and most powerful agent. In others, God is portrayed as the transcendent ground of all finite agency, while never acting on the same plane as other agents. The Christian doctrine of providence demands clear and deep thinking...

Reframing your perspective can transform your life. We often face circumstances that we cannot change?a job we are forced to keep, a relationship that did not work out, a decision we cannot take back.
