In the overall plan of our study we will attempt in chapter 2 to trace the theological
intention behind the first text of the extra Calvinisticum and see how Calvin subsequently
invoked the notion "the Holy Spirit as bond" to enhance his teaching. A short exposition
of the functions of the notion in the eucharistic context will also be given as an outline of
the following chapters. In chapters 3, 4 and 5, we will examine the relation between the
Holy Spirit and the person and work of Christ. First, we will examine Calvin's
understanding of Christ's and the Spirit's aseity, as well as his concept of person in the
trinitarian context. This will help us to clarify the relation between the extra
Calvinisticum and Filioque (chapter 3). Next, we will explore Calvin's concept of
person in the christological context and its relation with the extra Calvinisticwn. We will
see how Calvin transposed the conventional problem of two natures to a problem of
offices of the Mediator (chapter 4). This will prepare us to discuss further how a
corresponding offices-pneumatology was invoked to accomplish these offices of the
Mediator in acquiring righteousness and life for us (chapter 5). In chapter 6, we will see
how believers receive the salvific benefits accomplished in this redeeming work through
the communio Christi vinculo Spiritus. We will trace how the notion communio Christi
was invoked to safeguard the unity and differentiation of salvific benefits throughout the
various editions of the Institutes and how it finally emerged with vinculum Spirit to form
the crowning conception in Book Three of the definitive edition of the Institutes. Based
on this, we will proceed to examine the works of the Holy Spirit in imparting the salvific
benefits. In chapter 7, we will explore how the Holy Spirit unites believers in the present
life to the Christ in the future coming. This will also bring us to the termination of the
extra Calvinisticum in the eschaton.
