John Calvin's (1509-64) influence reaches from the Reformation to Karl Barth and beyond. Outstanding as biblical scholar, preacher and practical Church reformer, Calvin intended all his work to serve the Word of God. Although couched in 16th-century terms, his theology drew on the wealth of previous Christian thought and continues to be relevant to the situation of the Church today. This book is a comprehensive introduction to the whole range of Calvin's theology

By putting Calvin in his context, the book brings to life the quiet, timid scholar whose ideas took Europe by storm.

In this book, T. H. L. Parker provides a succinct but comprehensive look at the range of John Calvin's theology. In particular, Parker provides a fresh interpretation of Calvin's magnum opus, the Institutes of the Christian Religion, giving the reader a sense of what this important reformer and theologian valued as a Christian and as a thinker.

T.H.L. Parker was one of the great Calvin scholars of the 20th century, and in this brisk 178-page book, adds a superb addition to the supplemental reading on the man John Calvin, his theology and ministry, and his influence on the Church and world. His book offers an accessible overview of Calvin's theology, primarily through summarizing and drawing out key points from his Institutes of the Christian Religion.

The strength of this book is how Parker manages to share critical insight on the continuity of the Institutes in brief statements, which is a big help for the pastor or well-informed lay-Christian to better understand how Calvin's theology is integrated in the Institutes. He also offers helpful correctives throughout the book on where traditional reception of Calvin has either misunderstood or exaggerated Calvin, such as his teaching on election (Book III), or the practical operation of the "Society of Christ", the members of the Church and her ministry (Book IV). In this way, the book is not merely a survey of the Institutes, but gives clearer reading of Calvin, while at the same time keeping the comments brief as to whet the appetite for more.

I would highly recommend this work, along with the "Outstanding Christian Thinkers" series to pastors and lay-persons who desire greater insight into their broader Christian heritage. This is also a great companion work to read both during and after reading Calvin's Institutes.
