An introduction to the essential life and thought of one of
history's most influential theologians, who considered himself
first and foremost a pilgrim and a pastor.
July 10, 2009, marks the five-hundredth anniversary of the birth
of John Calvin. As controversial as he was influential, his critics
have named a judgmental and joyless attitude after him, while his
admirers celebrate him as the principal theologian of Reformed
Christianity. Yet his impact is unmistakable-a primary developer of
western civilization whose life and work have deeply affected five
centuries' worth of pastors, scholars, and individuals.
What will surprise the readers of this book, however, is that
Calvin did not live primarily to influence future generations.
Rather, he considered himself first and foremost a spiritual
pilgrim and a minister of the Word in the church of his day. It was
from that "essential" Calvin that all his influence flowed.
Here is an introduction to Calvin's life and thought and
essence: a man who moved people not through the power of
personality but through passion for the Word, a man who sought to
serve the gospel in the most humble of roles.
