Olevian comments on Lord’s Day 15: “Q. Was it not a disgrace for the Son of God to become a curse…? A. Not at all. For we believe that Christ took upon Himself and bore and alien curse, namely ours….”
Commenting on Romans 4, Olevian says, “He [God] is declaring that ungodly person righteous on account of an alien righteousness in Christ, not in himself” (emphasis mine).
[Double] imputation wasn’t legal fiction for Olevian.

Nice nice nice . . . there’s nothing like double imputation. If anything spurs me on toward gratitude, it’s that!
