What is Calvin and the Reformation about?

302 pages This book is an attempt to portray Calvin's work as a leader of the Reformation at Geneva and far beyond it. He is an international, not merely a local or national figure, who had his finger on the pulse of the Reformation in many lands outside the little republic on the shore of Lake Leman. The Reformed churches are under no small obligation to John Calvin. If Luther was the creator of the Reformation, Calvin was its great organizer, developer, and propagandist. - Preface Includes bibliographical references Introduction -- Early life of Calvin -- Beginnings as a Reformer -- Reorganization of the Genevan church -- The Calvinist regime -- Renewed opposition -- Calvin and his theological opponents -- Servetus -- The prosecution of Servetus -- Sequel of the tragedy -- The triumph of the theocracy -- Calvin as champion of the Reformation -- Mediator between the Reformed churches -- Director of the evangelical mission -- Calvin and international politics -- Calvin as theologian -- An evaluation
