"This first English translation of an important work of John Calvin
is a welcome supplement to his teachings in his Institutes." -E.
Earle Ellis, Southwestern Journal of Theology
This volume provides Calvin's fullest treatment of the
relationship between the grace of God and the free will of humans.
It offers insight into Calvin's interpretations of the church
fathers, especially Augustine, on the topics of grace and free will
and contains Calvin's answer to Pighius's objection that preaching
is unnecessary if salvation is by grace alone. This important work,
edited by renowned scholar A. N. S. Lane, contains material not
found elsewhere in Calvin's writings and will be required reading
for students of Calvin and the Protestant Reformation.
This abridged edition of the "Institutes "provides a readable and
inexpensive sampler of Calvin's greatest work. Lane has condensed
the 1559 edition, retaining the heart of Calvin's teachings on all
his major themes.
The great Reformer's sermons on one of the critical chapters of the
Book Isaiah. Christian theologians, from the time of the Early
Church have seen Isaiah 53 as one of the most important
prefigurings of the suffering of Christ for the people of God, and
Calvin's sermons bring out the theological significance of this key
chapter for Christians.
In this classic devotional, John Calvin urges readers to apply the
Christian life in a balanced way to mind, heart, and hand. Rather
than focusing on contemplative otherworldliness, the book stresses
the importance of a devotedly active Christian life.
In style and spirit, this book is much like Augustine's
Confessions, Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress, or Thomas a Kempis's
Imitation of Christ. However, its intense practicality sets it
apart, making it easily accessible for any reader seeking to carry
out Christian values in everyday life. Chapter themes include
obedience, self-denial, the significance of the cross, and how we
should live our lives today.
"...grab yourself a drink, a stiff one, make it a double, settle
into your easy chair, open The Boys, and begin. You’re home for
the evening. And I promise you this, Lucas and Lowell will haunt
your dreams." ~John Dufresne, author of I Don’t Like Where This
Is Going Darling Jean Bramlett has been accepted into the college
of her dreams. In the first thrilling days of her freshman year,
she works hard in her classes and dreams of becoming a famous poet
and a scholar. Then she meets two upperclassmen, Lucas and Lowell.
Brilliant, handsome, confident, they seem to be everything she
wants to be. They pull her into their orbit, and with them she
embarks on a series of increasingly bizarre and violent adventures,
ultimately resulting in murder.
For hundreds of years Christendom has been blessed with Bible
commentaries written by great men of God highly respected for their
godly walk and their insight into spiritual truth. The Crossway
Classic Commentaries present the very best work on individual Bible
books, carefully adapted for maximum understanding and usefulness
for today's believers. The book of Acts provides an invaluable
transition in the Bible from the life of Christ to the formation
and expansion of the New Testament Church and the inspired
apostolic letters of that era. The birth and spread of the Church,
early struggles in the Body of Christ, and the conversion and later
missionary journeys of Paul make for enlightening and nurturing
reading for all followers of the Lord Jesus Christ. John Calvin's
insightful examination of this action-packed, fast-paced section of
Scripture will give serious Bible students a solid grip on the key
passages and themes of Acts. And that in turn will give believers
renewed enthusiasm and boldness in taking the good news of Christ
to their own time and setting.
Here are two masterpieces of irony and imaginative vision from the
father of science fiction. "The Time Machine" propels the Time
Traveller into a distant, dismal future. "The Invisible Man" tells
of a brash young scientist who becomes invisible, then insane. This
volume features a new Afterword. Revised reissue.
The fruit of a lifetime of study and practical reflection, Calvin's
Institutes of the Christian Religion was a milestone of Protestant
thought in its time, and has continued to be very influential for
over 450 years. Deploying a synthesis of Biblical, theological, and
classical thought, the Institutes argue forcefully for the
scriptural basis of the Reformation, as well as establishing
practical guidelines for developing a biblical worldview touching
all aspects of life. In doing so, Calvin developed a vast
introduction to the Bible that, in many respects, transcends time
and place. Many of the issues Calvin addressed were timeless and
universal, and this is the reason for the work's longevity. This
new edition of Calvin's Institutes, adapted from Beveridge's
seminal translation, employs contemporary language and updated
Biblical references - making it accessible to students, scholars,
and anyone interested in Biblical studies or historic theology.
Calvin's Institutes of the Christian Religion is an essential
addition to any library of Biblical studies.

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.
