Description: John Calvin (1509-1564) was a central figure in the Protestant Reformation during the sixteenth century. This volume illuminates his continuing influence on Christianity by presenting a wonderful balance of biography and theology for beginning students as well as for those already familiar with Calvin's work.

In Calvin: A Brief Guide to His Life and Thought, Willem van 't Spijker, one of the world's leading Calvin scholars, provides a well-rounded and concise guide to John Calvin's life and theology. Based on the finest contemporary scholarship available, van 't Spijker outlines the development of Calvin's thought and the ways in which it was important not only in his time but in ours as well.

While Calvin did not live to see the full impact of his life's work, this splendid resource offers an excellent illustration of why he is still looked to by millions for theological insights and as a guide to Christian faith a full five centuries after his birth.

"This brief guide is long on insight and information. In a very readable manner, it serves as a ready entry into the life of Calvin, fully embedding that life in the currents of sixteenth-century society and culture. The life and work of Calvin is on fully contextualized display here, as is the erudition of the author and the skill of the translator. Highly recommended."
--Thomas J. Davis, Professor of Religious Studies and Thomas H. Lake Scholar in Religion and Philanthropy, Indiana University School of Liberal Arts at Indiana University--Purdue University Indianapolis
