John Calvin's first catechism--originally written in French in
1537 and then in Latin in 1538--provides a valuable, clear, and
concise introduction to his thought. Now for the first time,
readers have available Ford Lewis Battles' English translation of
the 1538 Latin edition and a current discussion of it in the same
volume. This commentary on the first catechism also utilizes other
sources such as Calvin's "Commentaries" and "Institutes," as well
as the latest Calvin research. This volume is an excellent
introduction to Calvin's theology and will be useful as a text for
college and seminary courses as well as church discussion
groups.
The Columbia Series in Reformed Theology represents a joint
commitment by Columbia Theological Seminary and Westminster John
Knox Press to provide theological resources from the Reformed
tradition for the church today. This series examines theological
and ethical issues that confront church and society in our own
particular time and place.
