Description

An introduction to the crucial life and thought of one of history’s most influential theologians, who thought to be himself initially a pilgrim and a pastor.

July 10, 2009, marks the five-hundredth anniversary of the birth of John Calvin. As controversial as he used to be influential, his critics have named a judgmental and joyless attitude after him, whilst his admirers celebrate him as the principal theologian of Reformed Christianity. Yet his affect is unmistakable-a primary developer of western civilization whose life and work have deeply affected five centuries’ worth of pastors, scholars, and individuals.

What will surprise the readers of this book, alternatively, is that Calvin did not live primarily to influence future generations. Somewhat, he thought to be himself initially a non secular pilgrim and a minister of the Word in the church of his day. It used to be from that “crucial” Calvin that every one his influence flowed.

Here is an introduction to Calvin’s life and thought and essence: a man who moved people not through the power of personality but through passion for the Word, a man who sought to serve the gospel in the most humble of roles.
