| Description: |
In this revision of one of the most important leaders of the Protestant Reformation, the author explores Calvin's achievement against the backdrop of the turbulent times in which he lived. With clear and concise explanations of Calvin's theology, analyses of his major works, and insights into his preaching, this definitive work brings this crucially important reformer and his world to life. The Church Times comments, "This book is not only outstanding as a work of scholarship which no student of the Protestant Reformation can neglect, but it is also a masterly achievement in the art of historical and theological revaluation." BBC Radio commentator Colin Morris said, "A rattling good yarn about one of the greatest Christians of all time." Calvin was born in 1509. It is expected that the anniversary of his birth will be celebrated througout the world in 2009, according to WJK. |
