John Calvin (1509-1564) is one of the most important figures in
religious history. Sitting on the cusp of the medieval and early
modern world, he was centre stage during the Reformation. In this
new biography, Michael Mullett introduces us to this most important
figure, tying his life together with that of Martin Luther, but
also valuing his individual contribution and influence. From what
Calvin himself described as 'humble beginnings', he became one of
the most influential theologians of the Protestant Reformation. The
influence of his teachings and the development of Christian
theology into what was to become known as Calvinism, swept across
Europe, reinforcing the Reformation's radical break from the
Catholic Church. John Calvin was 'a mighty and formidable man, able
to achieve the vast amount he did because of his unbending
conviction of his rightness'. Michael Mullett explores the
significant influences on Calvin and his work, and the
relationships that he formed along his reforming path. Looking not
only at the impact of Calvin throughout the early modern period and
the importance of his work to contemporaries, Michael Mullett also
assesses the impact that Calvin's works have had in shaping the
modern world, and the relevance that they still have today.
