Synopsis
Taken from John Calvin's magnum opus Institutes of the Christian Religion, this book has inspired readers around the world for more than four centuries. This concise and practical devotional was first printed for the purpose of teaching Christians how to live out their faith. Focusing on subjects such as righteousness, self-denial, the significance of the cross, suffering, and how we should live our lives today, Calvin stresses the importance that believers cling to the grace given through Christ's death and resurrection. He proposes practical ways to bring that grace into our fallen world without abusing our roles as representatives of God.

From the Inside Flap
John Calvin's God the Creator and God the Redeemer are the first and second books of the Institutes of the Christian Religion, one of the most famous theological books ever published, written and repeatedly refined and rewritten by one of the most significant figures of the Protestant Reformation. His system of doctrine and polity, Calvinism, has shaped more minds and entered into more nations that that of any other reformer. In every land, it made men strong against the attempted interference of the secular power with the rights of Christians and endures today, hundreds of years after his death. "It was more God's work than mine," Calvin said of his "Institutes."
