I too am interested in the article. Also -- what is your opinion, Chris? Do you believe Calvin was a nascent/emerging Sabbatarian?
I agree with Rich that Calvin's wording in the Institutes is both strong, and strongly attached to his scriptural prooftexts. He would have had to do significant theological backtracking to acknowledge a Christian Sabbath. (Such things are not out of the question, I suppose.)
