Some scholars have contrasted Calvin’s and Edwards’s understanding regarding the third use of the law. They believe that Calvin emphasized the third use of the law for believers’ sanctification and that there is no room for virtue ethics in Calvin’s theology, while Edwards’s ethics is virtue ethics and there is no room for the third use of the law in Edwards’s theology. In contrast, this article uncovers that both Calvin’s and Edwards’s ethics combine features of both virtue ethics and divine command ethics. Accordingly, Edwards holds the same view as Calvin regarding the third use of the law.

法律的第三次使用：约翰·加尔文和乔纳森·爱德华兹

一些学者将加尔文和爱德华兹关于法律第三次使用的理解进行了对比。他们认为，加尔文强调信徒成圣的律法第三次使用，加尔文神学中没有美德伦理的空间，而爱德华兹的伦理学是美德伦理，爱德华兹的神学中没有法律第三次使用的空间。相比之下，本文揭示了加尔文和爱德华兹的伦理结合了美德伦理和神圣命令伦理的特征。因此，爱德华兹对法律的第三次使用持有与加尔文相同的观点。
