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.
