Calvin for Armchair Theologians
"This is as winsome introduction to John Calvin as one can find.   It is brief, but covers the whole range of his life and theology. It is not   only lucid, but also written in a lively style. The analysis is accurate   and faithful to Calvin, and at the same time post-Calvin developments -   "Calvin's children" - are related in a suggestive way to Calvin's own life   and thought." --I. John Hesselink, Albertus C Van Raalte Professor of Systematic   Theology Emeritus, Western Theological Seminary
