Description
The essays in Tributes to John Calvin: A Celebration of His Quincentenary illuminate Calvin's times, thought and legacy, and provide a celebratory tribute to one of the most influential people in history. This book commemorates the quincentenary of Calvin's birth (July 10, 1509), and attests to the remarkably enduring influence of his life and work.
Twenty-three leading Calvin scholars exhibit a firm understanding of Calvin's era, his understanding of Scripture, and the heritage he has bequeathed the church.
This long-needed work serves as an indispensable resource for students, pastors, scholars, and anyone who wishes to understand better Calvin's thought and influence.
