Golden Booklet of the True Christian Life
By John Calvin, translated by Henry J. Van Andel / Baker
Who says that Calvin never wrote a manual on spirituality? This mini-classic sums up a number of the themes from his larger Institutes (obedience, self-denial, the significance of the cross), emphasizing an everyday piety rather than a contemplative, ascetic otherworldliness. 96 pages, softcover.

Calvin & The Calvinists
In this pioneering study Paul Helm shows that the substantial claims that Dr. Kendall makes in 'Calvin and English Calvinism to 1649,' concerning Calvin's alleged theological departures, cannot be supported from Calvin, but rest on distortions and misunderstandings. Since 'Calvin and the Calvinists' was first published in 1982, further scholarship has confirmed its claims. This careful and clear exposition remains of abiding value, not only for the scholar but also for all Christians who are concerned to evaluate their own theological heritage. |

Given For You: Reclaiming Calvin's Doctrine of the Lord's Supper
By Keith Mathison / P & R Publishing
Is the Lord's Supper, a time of communion with our Lord and with his people, a high point in our lives? What thought do we give to biblical teaching on this sacrament? In this book Keith Mathison seeks to "encourage prayerful reflection and discussion about this now neglected sacrament." He introduces, explains, and defends "a particular understanding of the Lord's Supper--a Reformed understanding. The doctrine of the Lord's Supper presented and defended by John Calvin is the biblical doctrine, the basic doctrine of the sixteenth-century Reformed churches, and the doctrine that should be proclaimed in Reformed churches today." In a final chapter on practical issues, Mathison addresses the frequency of communion, the elements to be used, and the practice of paedo-communion. |

History of the Reformation in the Time of Calvin, Four Volume Set
By J.H. Merle D'Aubigne / Hartland Publications
This set, originally an 8 volume work, is reprinted in these 4 volumes. The renovation of the individual, of the church, and of the human race, is the theme. If the Holy Ghost kindles the lamp of truth in man, it is (according to Calvin) to the end that the entire man should be transformed. In the Kingdom of Christ, he says, it is only the new man that flourishes and has any vigor, and whom we ought to take into account. This renovation is, at the same time, an enfranchisement; and we might assign, as a motto to the reformation accomplished by Calvin, as well as to apostolical Chiristianity itself, these words of Jesus Christ: The truth shall make you free. (John 8:32) |

John Calvin: His Life and Influence
By Robert Reymond / Christian Focus Public
Why is it that in the modern media the word "Calvinist" is always accompanied by "stern," "dour" or "strict"? Most of the people who use the terms together have next to no knowledge of what Calvinism is--and know even less about who Calvin was. An old-style reactionary? A hard-line ayatollah, raging at the world without any thought? Or is there more to this man than uninformed contemporary critics would have us believe? Robert Reymond brings us John Calvin the man. A reality quite different from the caricature often painted today. Here is man of deep spirituality with a real love for his fellow man and God. Whether the moniker "stern Calvinist" is applicable or not--his life has much to teach us. |

Isaiah Crossway Classics
By John Calvin / Crossway Books & Bibles
In this commentary, John Calvin delights to note and expound upon the numerous prophetic passages that were fulfilled by Jesus Christ, and emphasizes how Isaiah teaches that salvation is God's principal work. For hundredsof years Christendom has been blessed with commentaries written by great men of God highly respected for their godly walk and their insight into spiritual truth. Even as the prophets cried out against Judah's empty idolatry and warned of the judgment they would receive, he stressed God's 's holiness, patience, and mercy. Redemption is Isaiah's centraltheme, evidenced in his declarations about Judah's temporal need for salvation - and every soul's eternal one. Consequently Isaiah, more than any other prophet, foretold the coming of the Messiah and all that would follow. The Crossway Classic Commentary Series, carefully adapted for maximum understanding and usefulness, seeks to present the very best work on individual Bible books for today's believers. |
