Historical investigation of union with Christ and justification have been dominated by the
figure of John Calvin. Calvin's influence however has been exaggerated in our own day when
many other theologians within the Early Modern Reformed Tradition contributed to the
development of these doctrines. John V. Fesko therefore goes beyond Calvin and explores union
with Christ and justification in the Reformation Early Orthodox and High Orthodox periods of
the Reformed Tradition.Reformed theologians affirm both union with Christ and the golden chain
of salvation.
