Calvin's Ladder: A Spiritual Theology of Ascent and AscensionAre Christians truly invited to share in God or just in his gifts? The language of "participation" has been hotly debated for centuries, many Protestants protesting that aspiring to share in God is akin to attempting to ascend to his level. John Calvin's theology is often brought in to support this contention. Here Julie Canlis argues that to do so reflects a complete misunderstanding of Calvin.

Are Christians truly invited to share in God or just in his gifts? The language of "participation" has been hotly debated for centuries, many Protestants protesting that aspiring to share in God is akin to attempting to ascend to his level. John Calvin's theology is often brought in to support this contention. Here Julie Canlis argues that to do so reflects a complete misunderstanding of Calvin. In fact, she says, it is precisely Calvin's inclusion of participation that makes his theology so robust and spiritually enduring. / Calvin's Ladder traces the theme of participation in early Christian spirituality, then reveals how Calvin reworks it into the heart of his Protestant manifesto on theology. This groundbreaking book suggests an entirely distinctive way of conceiving the relation between God and humanity, challenging not only old caricatures of Calvin but also our own self-portraits.

This everyday body lotion is the bomb!
Scent: Collagen, Size: 17 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This body lotion is absolutely fabulous! It really does make the skin on my thighs and abdomen look and feel firmer and the skin on my arms, legs, hands, and feet is noticeably softer and more hydrated without looking greasy or feeling sticky. I even use it on my neck and my face, which has tended to be more dry than oily as I've aged. I also really appreciate that the scent is pleasant enough to stand on its own but subtle enough to work well with other fragrances. I don't think that I have ever been this satisfied with a health/beauty product at such an affordable price point. I even purchased a few extra bottles to gift to friends and family.

Wow - my new favorites 💜👍😀
Scent: Retinol, Size: 17 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I just purchased this and tried it last night for the first time along with the firming version. I didn't take photos because I was skeptical as a product I had purchased from a different line for more money didn't work. This morning I notice that not only does my skin feel more hydrated but the texture appears more smooth. I recently turned 75 & lost my husband a few months ago and having been a care giver for awhile and put taking care of me aside. These products and body wash are great and I like the fragrance. Please give them a try. To have something show this much difference over night is incredible. They are also affordable which is a plus for me. Thank you Olay.
