John Murray, M.A., Th.M. THE publication in English of another edition of the opus magnum of Christian theology is an event fraught with much encouragement. Notwithstanding the decadence so patent in our present-day world and particularly in the realm of Christian thought and life, the publishers have confidence that there is sufficient interest to warrant such an undertaking.

Description :
(Calvin's Own 'Essentials' Edition)Translated by Robert White The Institutes of
the Christian Religion is Calvin's single most important work. Yet, as many
who have purchased an English translation of the final Latin edition of 1559
know only too well, the sheer size of the work and the proliferation of technical
details and polemical themes do not make for easy reading. It has left many
wishing for an edition that avoided such things but yet kept intact the very
heart and soul of Calvin's teaching.Such an edition is now available, and it is
not the work of an editor or an abridger, but of Calvin himself. The present
translation is newly made from the French of 1541. It has been designed and
annotated with the needs of a wide readership in mind.
