description: John Calvin's name evokes powerful images most of them negative. In the minds of many he is perceived as an ivory-tower theologian who was harsh and unreasonable the driving force behind a dangerous theological system. In this volume Burk Parsons and eighteen other leading Reformed pastors and scholars authoritatively reveal the truth about Calvin and his teaching - that he was humble caring pious Scripture-saturated and above all passionate about upholding the glory of God. Published in conjunction with the five-hundredth anniversary of Calvin's birth (2009) John Calvin: A Heart for Devotion Doctrine and Doxology offers a highly readable partrait of a man whose example and teaching remain vitally relevant even in the twenty-first century.
