Hundreds of biographies have been written of Martin Luther, John Calvin, John Knox and John Bunyan. But there is something unique to be gained by listening to these men tell their stories in their own words.

Here, in In Their Own Words, is a collection of testimonial statements drawn from the writings of Luther, Calvin, Knox, and Bunyan. We see men who candidly confessed their sins and boldly testified to the grace, mercy, and goodness of God to them. Their testimonies illustrate the great truth stated by Paul that ‘where sin abounded, grace abounded much more, so that as sin reigned in death, even so grace might reign through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord’ (Rom. 5:20-21).

David B. Calhoun (1937–2021) was a graduate of Columbia Bible College and Covenant Theological Seminary, and he earned two masters of theology degrees, including one from Covenant Seminary (Old Testament) and one from Princeton Theological Seminary (New Testament). He earned a doctor of philosophy degree from Princeton and serves as Emeritus Professor of Church History at Covenant Theological Seminary. He also served as a Presbyterian minister for more than 60 years. David Calhoun’s books include the two-volume Princeton Seminary Set. Volume 1 is titled Princeton Seminary, Faith & Learning 1812-1868, with volume 2 titled The Majestic Testimony 1869-1929. One review of this two-volume treasure calls it ‘splendid’ and ‘thoroughly researched.’ Calhoun also wrote Knowing God and Ourselves, created to help students read and understand the important but challenging John Calvin book, Institutes of the Christian Religion. He also published Pleading for a Reformation Vision with the Trust.
