"Dr. Donald K. McKim gathers together an international array of major Calvin scholars to consider phases of John Calvin's (1509-1564) theological thought and influence. Historians and theologians meet to present a full picture of Calvin's contexts, the major themes in Calvin's writings, and the ways in which his thought spread and has increasing importance.
- Chapter s serve as guides to their topics and provide further readings for additional study. This is an introduction to this significant Protestant reformer and will appeal to the specialist and non-specialist alike."--BOOK JACKET.
