***- THIS TITLE IS OUT OF STOCK IN OUR U.S. OFFICE AND WILL SHIP UPON ARRIVAL AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.***Calvin wrote to kings and princes, Reformers and friends, nobility and common people alike. His letters reveal a man of deep pastoral concern, consistent and exemplary evangelistic zeal, with a humble sense of the final authority of God and his Word. This selection, chosen from the 19th century translation, contains a number of letters written in connection with the establishment of the Reformation in England, a cross-section of Calvin's correspondence with his closest friends, especially William Farel, and also Luther and Melanchthon. There are also letters of pastoral counsel and encouragement, and perhaps most moving of all, Calvin's exhortations to five young men imprisoned in Lyons, France, awaiting the day of their certain martyrdom.
