Review:

"Students and teachers of Calvin are (now) further indebted to Ford Lewis Battles, the noted Calvin translator and scholar. . . . With the availability of the Analysis, perhaps more people will take up the challenge and read (and more to teach!) the Institutes." --David Foxgrover, Sixteenth Century Journal

"A remarkably helpful guide. . . The Analysis will make it much easier for us to delve into the richness of Calvin’s thought." --John Van Dyk, Pro Rege

"Should be of considerable help to the student as he threads his way through the lengthy theological classic, under the guidance of a foremost Calvin scholar." --R. Swanton, Reformed Theological Review
