The History and Character of Calvinism
"[McNeill] has done a great service in presenting in one volume not only an account of the life and teaching of Calvin but a survey of Calvinism down to our own day....One of the best short accounts of Calvin available, based on a thorough knowledge both of his life and writings and of modern scholarship."--American Historical Review"Will surely remain the standard book on Calvinism for many years to come.  It deserves wide currency and careful reading."--Albert C. Outler"McNeill has given us a very good and much needed volume on Reformed Christianity."--Leonard J.
