Three Addresses Delivered By Professors in Union Theological Seminary in Commemoration of the Four Hundredth Anniversary of the Birth of John Calvin

These three addresses were given on Calvin’s 400th birthday to the faculty and students of Union Theological Seminary. The professors outline both the important themes of Calvin's work and acknowledge his established and lasting influence on cultural and theological education. The addresses begin with Calvin as a student and his own spiritual and theological formation. As a second generation reformer, Calvin was able to harness the momentum of those before him and propel the spirit and theology of the Reformation forward. For Calvin, the conversion and spiritual formation of the individual within the doctrinal community was the pinnacle of his theological system.
