The Life of John Calvin

In The Life of John Calvin Dyer recounts Calvin's life, focusing primarily on authentic sources from Calvin's own writing and paying special attention to Calvin's letters throughout his life. Dyer sought to portray Calvin in his own words as much as possible, but cites other key historical works, some of which are included in this 10-volume collection, including The Life and Times of John Calvin by Paul Henry. As one of the most detailed and impartial accounts of Calvin's life, popular passages from this book have been cited numerous times in other Calvin works and biographies, proving its merit as an authentic and reliable account of Calvin's life.
