John Calvin: For a New Reformation (Afterword by R. C. Sproul)

An assessment of the continuing relevance of Calvin's life, ministry, and message by some of the leading scholars and pastors of our time.

For a New Reformation commemorates the five-hundredth anniversary of John Calvin's birth and calls contemporary Christians to active application of his message. Reflecting on Calvin's continuing importance are leading pastors and scholars such as Sinclair Ferguson, Bob Godfrey, and Stephen Nichols.

"Our aim," write editors Derek Thomas and John Tweeddale, "is to provide a comprehensive, one-volume introduction to the life, teaching, and legacy of Calvin to serve as both a primer for those who have never read him and as a resource for students of Reformed theology." Included are seventeen chapters on the Reformer's teaching-along with eight chapters dedicated to his pastoral ministry, his life and relationships, and the modern world's need for the message he proclaimed. Foreword by R. C. Sproul.
