John Calvin: Commentary on Genesis (#17): Genesis 2.3-7

Aside from the perspicuous and authoritative narrative, a few observations on the side: (1) Elohim and Jehovah, as names, are used in 2.7, a note over which Graf-Wellhausians would choke? Yes, both names. JEDP? C'mon. That theory and hypothesis has--in fact--"collapsed" as Prof. Bruggeman noted, although it was touted as Gospel truth. (2) The Devil recruits the brightest reprobates to work in theology to employ subtlety and deception. The Devil is a theologian as per in Mt. 4. Jesus, as a theologian, defangs and declaws the Devil in his theological engagement. This point was an aside by Monsieur Jean, but is worth pondering. High-end, academic devils to bedevil God's church. We must be careful here, but what else were/are the musicians singing the "hot Lutheran music of Bultmannianism?" Or the singing the "hard rock music of Barthianism" (back in the day)? Or, "banging the drums for Graf-Wellhausen?"

Thank you, brother Jean, faithful laborer in God's Word
