Comparing Aquinas and Calvin's Perspectives on Christ's Headship and the Cross

This chapter analyzes the theological viewpoints of Aquinas and Calvin on the universality of Christ's headship and the cross, highlighting Aquinas' universal scope belief contrasting with Calvin's initial focus on forensic justification over transformative union with Christ. It examines the challenges in understanding the connection between Christ's sacrifice and believers' union with Him within Calvin's substitutionary theology of the cross.
