A decent article on John Calvin on this 500th anniversary of his birth

The Lion and the Lamb

“It is constantly assured…that when the lion lies down with the lamb the lion becomes lamb-like. But that is brutal annexation and imperialism on the part of the lamb. That is simply the lamb absorbing the lion instad of teh lion eating the lamb. The real problem is – Can thelion lie down with the lamb and still retain his royal ferocity? That is the problem the Church attempted; that is the miracle she achieved.”   GK Chesterton, Orthodoxy
