Anthology of John Calvin

This book is completely different from anything published on Calvin to date. It is not just another biography of John Calvin, but rather distinct biographies, each analyzing a different aspect of his life, work, or thought.

The author structures these works on Calvin into nine parts: Introductory Aspects, Biography, General Overviews, Institutes of the Christian Religion—Theology and Exegesis, Calvinist Ethics, Spheres of Influence, Other Contexts, Epilogue.

In addition to the classic and usual topics when discussing Calvin and Calvinism, there are also innovative and exciting themes such as: "Calvin, Founder of a Civilization," "Calvin and the Opinion of Today's Catholics," "Women Around Calvin," "The Strange Romance of John Calvin and Idelette de Bure," "Money and Property," "Antecedents of Liberation Theology in the Calvinist Heritage," etc.

An essential, current, and significant reference work for all those interested in Calvin and the influence of Calvinism on the Church and society.
