An international array of major Calvin scholars considers aspects of Calvin's theological thought and influence. Historians as well as theologians present the major themes in his writings in addition to discussing the ways in which his thought spread and has increasing importance today. ### Review "A welcome addition to the Cambridge Companion series." - Theology Today "...a much needed resource for students and researchers." - SEL: Studies in English Literature, 1500-1900 "In the spirit of the highly successful Cambridge Companion series, this volume provides a stimulating introduction to the life, work, and legacy of the reformer John Calvin." Amy C. Graves, Renaissance Quarterly "This Companion is a worthy addition to the library of anyone interested in Calvin and his impact, and a valuable addition to any church library." - Presbyterian History "In the recent past, The Cambridge Companion series has produced a bevy of helpful undergraduate-level textbooks which also serve as first port of call for more serious academic inquiry, ranging from the history of jazz, to Arabic philosophy, and now to John Calvin: a quintessential sixteenth-century reformer whos scope of influence--both then and now--simply transcends that of Geneva and the Francophone world...The Cambridge Companion to John Calvin is a welcome addition both to the Cambridge Companion series itself and to Calvin studies in general." Sixteenth Century Journal Paul C.H. Lim, Gorden-Conwell Theological Seminary ### Book Description Dr Donald K. McKim gathers together an international array of major Calvin scholars to consider phases of Calvin's theological thought and influence. Here, 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 today. The chapters serve as guides to their topics and provide further readings for additional study. This is an accessible introduction to the significant Protestant reformer and will appeal to the specialist and non-specialist alike. |
