John Calvin's Institutes of the Christian Religion

"Gordon's book is an invaluable introduction to Calvin and the Institutes, and to the diversity of interpretation surrounding it."--John L. Thompson, Fuller Theological Seminary"Bruce Gordon's biography of Calvin's book is well researched, energetically presented, and broadly informative. Gordon ably situates the Institutes against its author and the complicated history of Calvinism."--Mark A. Noll, author of Protestantism: A Very Short Introduction
