Publisher's Synopsis
Calvin, along with Luther, was the most important figure in the Protestant Reformation. His doctrine of predestination has been influential ever since. Calvin's most important work, the "Institutio", shows how he seceded from Rome, how he tried to reform the church, his view of the world and its history, his understanding of the Europe of his time and his faith. In this book the author uses an account of the "Instituto" to cover every aspect of Calvin's thought.
