Quick and Concise: A Review of John Calvin's Classic Work

Institutes of the Christian Religion, 2 Vols by John Calvin

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Calvin's name invites hatred among Christians almost as much as Christ's did among the Jews. This classic exposition of almost every conceivable biblical doctrine is biting and incentive, truthful and hurtful (to more than a few) and still regarded as the high water mark of theological Reformation truth to date which began with St. Augustine, more or less centuries before him. The story surrounding Calvin's legacy, which is not included here, is also controversial. Basically, in my studied opinion, if it's not controversial and ground shaking, then it's not Christianity. Semper reformando.
