John Calvin and the Genevan Reformation: A Sketch

John Calvin and the Genevan Reformation: A Sketch contains a series of lectures delivered at Union Theological Seminary in 1899 and 1900. These lectures on the Reformation in Geneva outline Calvin’s role in the movement, and aim to encourage the historical study of the Reformation in general and Calvinism in particular. This volume explains the events which helped establish Calvin as a key leader of Reformed Christianity. Although it contains a brief biographical sketch, it is largely devoted to the role the events in Geneva played in shaping the theology of Calvin and his successors.
