History and Repository of Pulpit Eloquence, Deceased Divines, Vol. 2 of 2 (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Excerpt from History and Repository of Pulpit Eloquence, Deceased Divines
The moral and intellectual endowments of Calvin marked him out for a man called and qualified to guide the Opinions, and control the emotions of men in the trying times of the Reformation. And few have done more to shape the theological opinions of men for all time. The cautious Scaliger pronounces him the most exalted character that has appeared since the days of the Apostles, and at the age of twenty two the most learned man in Europe. His works first appeared in 1578, in twelve folio volumes. Most of them have recently been issued by the Calvin Translation Society of Edinburg, in some fifty vols. 8vo.
