In this lesson, Pastor Hamilton highlights a final feature of Calvinism as it shapes the lives of Christians. Calvinism, with its profoundly Trinitarian shape and content, cultivates communion with God. We are struck with such a Trinitarian emphasis as we read Calvin's Institutes. Perhaps none better expressed this communion with the triune God than John Owen, the great 17th-century English pastor-theologian.
