Gordon Govens | Testimony and John Calvin
Gordon Govens is drawn to John Calvin in large part because of Calvin’s training as an attorney, which matches his own background. He breaks down his research on Calvin’s understanding of testimony as it pulls together modern understandings of how testimony functions and what makes someone credible.
In this episode, Gordon Govens unpacks John Calvin’s understanding and frequent use of the word testimony. Explore how testimony functioned for individuals and the community in Calvin's Geneva, and why truth-telling matters for church and society.
