In 20 essays by leading Reformed pastors and scholars, this primer explores Calvin’s life, teaching, and legacy for a new generation.

Most Informative Book on the Subject

Wow! I’m not a Pastor or a Seminary Student. This book was so thorough its review of John Calvin and his theology that I could only listen to it a few hours at a time. The explain action of his theology was so enlightening that I had to stop and try to digest the intellect and thinking of this man before I went further. I had no real understanding of Calvin even though I consider myself a reformed theology Christian. I recommend any Christian take the effort to “work thru” this epic book and learn whom John Calvin really was/is.

this was a great overview of Calvin, covering both his life and teaching.

The doctrinal side at the end was significantly longer than the initial biography and for some might be less interesting.

Calvin Beyond Facts

Most biographies cover the facts of someone's life. This book goes beyond that. It doesn't you Calvin for his ideas, impact, and identity. Very well done!

While the audio reader isn't the most engaging, the content is well worth pushing through for.
