Meet John Calvin, not just as a distant Reformer, but as a man who knew what it meant to live as a stranger in a strange land. This engaging biography reveals the human side of a theological giant, focusing on his years spent in exile. By examining his life as a refugee, you will gain a deeper appreciation for how his personal trials influenced the development of his ideas and his resilience in the face of adversity. Kenneth J. Woo invites you to walk alongside Calvin in his journey, offering a vivid portrait of a man shaped by displacement and driven by a desire to glorify God. This book is an essential read for anyone wishing to understand the historical context of the Reformation and the enduring impact of a man who found his home in the gospel.
