Institutes of the Christian Religion
The Genevan reformer John Calvin, in his Reformation-era work "Institutes of the Christian Religion", wrote: "beyond the pale of the Church no forgiveness of sins, no salvation, can be hoped for". Calvin wrote also that "those to whom He is a Father, the Church must also be a mother," echoing the words of the originator of the Latin phrase himself, Cyprian: "He can no longer have God for his Father who has not the Church for his mother."
