This selection of the writings of John Calvin (1509 1564) is the first for general readers to appear in many years. It showcases his powerful legacy, which has had far-reaching consequences for the development of religion and culture in Western Europe and in the shaping of American identity.Calvin was a prodigious preacher and writer, and his sermons, Bible commentaries, tracts, and letters fill dozens of volumes. The works chosen for John Calvin: Steward of God s Covenant highlight ideas central to the Reformation but also to his influence on modern life, e.g., the importance of a work ethic and the notion of being called to action in the world; his belief in universal education for boys and girls; and his belief in the sanctity and freedom of individual conscience. Calvin s theology of the elect of God motivated the English and Dutch Calvinists who settled the Atlantic seaboard, their Promised Land. The traditions of their communities and churches and laws produced the widespread present-day American belief in a divinely favored national destiny. In her brilliant preface to this edition, Pulitzer Prize winning novelist Marilynne Robinson makes the clearest connection between John Calvin s own biblical and patristic heritage and the heritage he in turn left the modern world."

"There's nothing else like Calvin's treatment of prayer... Calvin is both theological and practical, and as usual, he is very comprehensive. This is a rarity-deep theology with a spiritually elevated tone and savor that makes the reader want to pray."-Timothy Keller in Prayer: Experiencing Awe and Intimacy with GodJ.I. Packer calls this: "A classic minitreatise on the proper mindset for praying and the Lord's Prayer as a pattern for doing so."John Calvin's work on prayer from The Institutes of Christian Religion has nourished souls and sparked a desire to pray for almost 500 years.
