Synopsis
This sterling biography of Calvin sheds new light on the great Reformer's personality by concentrating on the milieu in which he did his life's work. Cottret examines Calvin's life chronologically and explores the thematic aspects of his persona--Calvin the polemicist, preacher and writer--and looks in greater depth at his foremost work, the "Institutes of the Christian Religion".
