Variance of Efficaciously

What emerges in this period is differing approaches among the Reformed on the extent of Christ’s atoning work. Pareus, for example, consistently argued for and employed the Lombardian formula in answer to the question of for whom Christ died. Beza, as we have already seen, did not find the formula useful and rejected its wording, while Tossanus consistently emphasized the efficacy of Christ’s death, maintaining that Christ died efficaciously only for the elect.
