Guide to Christian Living (Calvin - leatherette)

Author: John Calvin

ISBN: 9781848710405

Binding: flex-cover, leatherette, small format

Section: Christianity-General

The Christian life, as Calvin describes it, is lived simultaneously in the shadow of the corss and in the bright light of the resurrection. That the writer himself knew something of the cost of discipleship is clear from a consideration of his own experience. For Calvin, tears as well as joy are valid and necessary—To be devoid of feeling is to be no better than a stone or block of wood. The present translation has been newly made from the French of the 1560 Institutes, and follows the text established by Jean-Daniel Benoit in his 5-volume edition of the work.
