Jason Van Vliet

Jason Van Vliet examines Calvin’s explanation of the image of God within the times and ecclesiastical circumstances in which he lived.

When Christians hear the word “love,” they quickly think of 1 Corinthians 13, and rightly so. However, how can the Apostle Paul say that “love never ends,” when in reality we see many different situations in which love is put under stress and, at times, even seems to come to an end.
