Description: As the five hundredth anniversary of John Calvin’s birth approaches (2009), Burk Parsons, editor of
Tabletalk magazine and minister of congregational life at St. Andrew’s Chapel in Sanford, Fla., has brought together an impressive group of pastors and scholars to reconsider Calvin’s life and legacy. Contributors include Jay Adams, Eric Alexander Thabiti Anyabwile, Joel Beeke, Jerry Bridges, Sinclair Ferguson, Robert Godfrey, D. G. Hart, Michael Horton, Phillip R. Johnson, Steve Lawson, John MacArthur, Keith Mathison, Richard Phillips, Harry Reeder, Philip Graham Ryken, Derek Thomas, Thomas Ascol, and others.
In twenty succinct chapters, these men examine Calvin the man; his work (as a Reformer, a churchman, a preacher, a counselor, and a writer); and his teachings (on subjects as diverse as the Holy Spirit and prayer). What emerges is a multifaceted portrait of a man whose contributions to Christian thought and Christian living were significant indeed, a man whose life, work, and teachings are worthy to be remembered and studied even in the twenty-first century.
"To my knowledge there never has been a collection of authors of any edited volume under whose ministry I would rather sit than these...This a good way to meet John Calvin: in the holy hearts of humble servants of Christ. The only better way would be to read the man himself."
--John Piper
