Description

A Theological Guide to Calvin's Institutes, edited by David W. Hall and Peter A. Lillback, fills a gap in the literature for Reformation studies. Twenty leading Calvin scholars have contributed to a work that ably provides a section-by-section commentary on Calvin's magnum opus.

Capturing both the best of elite scholarship, as well as exhibiting a firm understanding of and passion for Calvin's own work, these essays provide definitive commentary from elite Calvin scholars who seek to elucidate his work and display its abiding value.

This long-needed work serves as the natural companion to Calvin's Institutes of the Christian Religion for classes, students, pastors, and others for years to come.
