About this title

From the Back Cover:

Calvin’s Institutes of the Christian Religion, the last book Calvin wrote, has been described as “one of the most profitable books for all students of Christian divinity.” Considered the “opus magnum of Christian theology,” Calvin’s Institutes details the Christian denominations including Protestant, post-Reformation, and Reformed. By establishing a sound basis for interpretation, Calvin helped direct the future course of all exegetical study.
