Happy Birthday, John Calvin!

I found this statement somewhat humorous.

Calvin, commenting on unbelievers’ confrontation with God’s revelation, said:

Faced with God’s revelation, the unbeliever is like an ass at a concert.

Quoted in David E. Garland, 1 Corinthians, BECNT, 100.

Αυτω η δοξα,

Jason
