This book is unique among biographies of John Calvin as is emphasises the human side of Calvin, with special attention to his personal development, relationships and key periods of transition, in which he often found himself alone – all of which had a profound impact upon Calvin’s theology and practice.

He is a leading Reformation historian and author of several books, including Calvin’s Theology of the Psalms.
