About This Book
Description
In this concise introduction to Calvin's life and thought, Elwood offers an insightful and accessible overview of Calvin's key teachings within its historical context. This is an engaging look at an all-important theologian. Review: ?This is as winsome introduction to John Calvin as one can find. It is brief, but covers the whole range of his life and theology. It is not only lucid, but also written in a lively style. The analysis is accurate and faithful to Calvin, and at the same time post-Calvin developments ? ?Calvin's children? ? are related in a suggestive way to Calvin's own life and thought.? I.
