Institutes of the Christian Religion – John Calvin
A major work of the Protestant Reformation, Institutes of the Christian Religion presents an in-depth exposition of the Christian faith in light of the Holy Scriptures. In it, John Calvin addresses the great biblical doctrines and their application to the life of the believer.
In this veritable theological compendium, the author deals notably with the knowledge of God, creation and providence, sin and salvation, the person and work of Jesus Christ, as well as the role of the Holy Spirit. He also develops reflections on prayer, the Christian life, the Church, and the sacraments.
This modern French edition, produced by Marie de Védrines and Paul Wells, makes this classic work more accessible to today's readers, while preserving its theological depth.
An essential reference work for discovering the thought of John Calvin, deepening one's understanding of Reformed theology, and better grasping the foundations of the Christian faith.
