Hendrickson offers a one-volume hardcover edition of one of Western Christianity's foundational works. Re-typeset into a clean and modern typeface, this edition is easy to read for the modern eye. This book will appeal to libraries, seminarians, pastors, and laypeople. Institutes of the Christian Religion by John Calvin is an introduction to the Bible and a vindication of Reformation principles by one of the Reformation's finest scholars.
At the age of twenty-six, Calvin published several revisions of his Institutes of the Christian Religion, a seminal work in Christian theology that altered the course of Western history and that is still read by theological students today. It was published in Latin in 1536 and in his native French in 1541, with the definitive editions appearing in 1559 (Latin) and in 1560 (French). The book was written as an introductory textbook on the Protestant faith for those with some learning already and covered a broad range of theological topics from the doctrines of church and sacraments to justification by faith alone. It vigorously attacked the teachings of those Calvin considered unorthodox, particularly Roman Catholicism, to which Calvin says he had been "strongly devoted" before his conversion to Protestantism. The over-arching theme of the book--and Calvin's greatest theological legacy--is the idea of God's total sovereignty, particularly in salvation and election.

德国历史学家兰克(Leopold von Ranke)说:“加尔文是美国真正的立基者。”法国历史学家论到加尔文宗信徒时说道:“这些人是英国真正的英雄。他们建立了苏格兰,他们也建立了美国。”这些都说明了加尔文深远的历史影响力。
挺早的时候知道加尔文,当时看他的传记而喜欢他,加之额外的原因就起名叫geneva。当时觉得这本书离我太遥远,不必这么严肃和纠结在这些理论知识上,一直到前一个月。 那天,当我看到第一卷的第十、十一章的时候就痛哭流涕,从没有想到过我对他的认识可能正是对他的亵渎,此后的...
