| Summary: | John Calvin's life and thought are summarized in relation to the political and intellectual currents of the turbulent era of the Reformation. The author traces the development of Calvin's theology through the study of the great Christian writers from the Church Fathers to his contemporaries, Luther and Zwingli. Calvin's own writings, especially the 'Institutes,' are analyzed as part of the great ferment of religious and secular thought which he helped to form.-- |
