Publisher's Synopsis
The translator and his associated have taken great care to
preserve the rugged strength and vividness of Calvin's
writing. They have not, however, hesitated to break up
overly long sentences to conform to modern English usage
or, wherever possible, to render heavy Latinate theological
terms in simple language. The result is a translation that
achieves a high degree of accuracy and at the same time is
eminently readable.

Review By: Jerry Fourroux
Everyone knows how important
Calvin's work is to Reformed
theology, but not many know
how accessible this
translation is. When
speaking, teaching, or
persuading about Reformed
theology this work in part or
whole should be given. As a
champion of free-will
theology in my early college
days, I didn't like the
whole "Calvinism" thing.
Reading this translation of
the Institutes showed me what
a robust and compelling a
faith the Reformed faith
really was. I am now at
Westminster Seminary in
Philadelphia learning more
about it. I recommend this
book above everything except
the Bible for the Christian.
It is long but extremely
rewarding for anyone's
investigation, even high
schoolers! |
