Reformed Leaders Thoughtfully Apply John Calvin's Life and Teaching to the Modern World
More than 500 years ago, 16th-century Reformer John Calvin was born--a theologian whose teachings set the stage for reformation of the church around the world. The modern world is in continual need of his Christ-exalting doctrine and vision of the Christian life. In 19 essays by leading Reformed pastors and scholars, this primer explores Calvin's life, teaching, and legacy for a new generation. This book is a clarion call to Christians everywhere to take seriously the ongoing need of theological reformation across the globe.
